Direct Bone Attachment

Famous quotes containing the words direct, bone and/or attachment:

    Bryan is the least of a liar I know in public life. I have always found him direct and honest, and he never goes back on what he has said to me in private—a rare thing, if found, in public men. I found him purely frank.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    Sang a bone upon the shore;
    “A man if I but held him so
    When my body was alive
    Found all the pleasure that life gave”:
    A bone wave-whitened and dried in the wind.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Men are more evanescent than pictures, yet one sorrows for lost friends, and pictures are my friends. I have none others. I am never long enough with men to attach myself to them; and whatever feelings of attachment I have are to material things.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)
