Famous quotes containing the words related and/or bodies:

    “Gambling is closely related to theft, and lewdness to murder.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “when such bodies join
    There is no touching here, nor touching there,
    Nor straining joy, but whole is joined to whole;
    For the intercourse of angels is a light
    Where for its moment both seem lost, consumed.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
