Bone Matrix

Famous quotes containing the words bone and/or matrix:

    Sang a bone upon the shore;
    “A child found all a child can lack,
    Whether of pleasure or of rest,
    Upon the abundance of my breast”:
    A bone wave-whitened and dried in the wind.

    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    In all cultures, the family imprints its members with selfhood. Human experience of identity has two elements; a sense of belonging and a sense of being separate. The laboratory in which these ingredients are mixed and dispensed is the family, the matrix of identity.
    Salvador Minuchin (20th century)
