Bones/literature

Famous quotes containing the words bones and/or literature:

    The Knight’s bones are dust,
    And his good sword rust:—
    His soul is with the saints, I trust.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    The newspapers, I perceive, devote some of their columns specially to politics or government without charge; and this, one would say, is all that saves it; but as I love literature and to some extent the truth also, I never read those columns at any rate. I do not wish to blunt my sense of right so much.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
