Famous quotes containing the word bodies:
“We thought it would be worth the while to read the epitaphs where so many were lost at sea; however, as not only their lives, but commonly their bodies also, were lost or not identified, there were fewer epitaphs of this sort than we expected, though there were not a few. Their graveyard is the ocean.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Abode where lost bodies roam each searching for its lost one.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
