Bodies

Famous quotes containing the word bodies:

    What has this bugbear Death to frighten man,
    If souls can die, as well as bodies can?
    Lucretius (Titus Lucretius Carus)

    Bodies of holy men and women exude
    Miraculous oil, odour of violet.
    But under heavy loads of trampled clay
    Lie bodies of the vampires full of blood;
    Their shrouds are bloody and their lips are wet.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    There is a grandeur in the uniformity of the mass. When a fashion, a dance, a song, a slogan or a joke sweeps like wildfire from one end of the continent to the other, and a hundred million people roar with laughter, sway their bodies in unison, hum one song or break forth in anger and denunciation, there is the overpowering feeling that in this country we have come nearer the brotherhood of man than ever before.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
