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

    “We can never safely exceed the actual facts in our narratives. Of pure invention, such as some suppose, there is no instance. To write a true work of fiction even is only to take leisure and liberty to describe some things more exactly as they are.”

    “The power, which all
    Acknowledge when thus moved, which Nature thus
    To bodily sense exhibits, is the express
    Resemblance of that glorious faculty
    That higher minds bear with them as their own.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “There is the empty chapel, only the wind’s home.
    It has no windows, and the door swings,
    Dry bones can harm no one.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
