Actual Bodily Harm

Famous quotes containing the words actual, bodily and/or harm:

    I know this, and I know it from actual experience in the Orient, that the progress of modern Christian civilization has largely depended on the earnest hard work of the Christian missions of every denomination.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    But those rare souls whose spirit gets magically into the hearts of men, leave behind them something more real and warmly personal than bodily presence, an ineffable and eternal thing. It is everlasting life touching us as something more than a vague, recondite concept. The sound of a great name dies like an echo; the splendor of fame fades into nothing; but the grace of a fine spirit pervades the places through which it has passed, like the haunting loveliness of mignonette.
    James Thurber (1894–1961)

    Here’s to five miserable months on the wagon and the irreparable harm that it’s caused me.
    Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
