Skull/bones

Famous quotes containing the words skull and/or bones:

“No throne exists that has a right to exist, and no symbol of it, flying from any flagstaff, is righteously entitled to wear any device but the skull and crossbones of that kindred industry which differs from royalty only businesswise-merely as retail differs from wholesale.”

“But the bones didn’t try
The door; they halted helpless on the landing,
Waiting for things to happen in their favor.”
