Famous quotes containing the words generic and/or bodies:
““Mother” has always been a generic term synonymous with love, devotion, and sacrifice. There’s always been something mystical and reverent about them. They’re the Walter Cronkites of the human race . . . infallible, virtuous, without flaws and conceived without original sin, with no room for ambivalence.”
—Erma Bombeck (20th century)
“He’s in the other room getting stiffer than the bodies he demonstrates.”
—Philip MacDonald, and Robert Wise. Landlord, The Body Snatcher, directing Gray to the drunken Dr. MacFarland (1945)
