Famous quotes containing the words rigid and/or bodies:
“They work, and age, and put off men
By being unattractive, or too shy,
Or having morals anyhow, none give in:
Some of them go quite rigid with disgust
At anything but marriage....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“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)
