Famous quotes containing the words student and/or body:
“The roaring alongside he takes for granted,
and that every so often the world is bound to shake.
He runs, he runs to the south, finical, awkward,
in a state of controlled panic, a student of Blake.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“Praised be the good willing women who understand and take part in the fun—the body is an exacting beater, and even the heart is made of flesh.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
