Bones

Famous quotes containing the word bones:

“Lars Jorgensen: It’s this country killed my boy. Yes, by golly, I tell you Ethan—
Mrs. Jorgensen: Now Lars. It just so happens we be Texicans. A Texican is nothing but a human man way out on a limb, this year, and next, maybe for a hundred more. But I don’t think it’ll be forever. Someday this country’s going to be a fine good place to be. Maybe it needs our bones in the ground before that time can come.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)

“The average Ph.D. thesis is nothing but a transference of bones from one graveyard to another.”
—J. Frank Dobie (1888–1964)

“And the bones sang chirping
With the burden of the grasshopper,”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
