Famous quotes containing the words broken and/or bones:

    “Macavity, Macavity, there’s no one like Macavity,
    He’s broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “It is not their bones or hide or tallow that I love most. It is the living spirit of the tree, not its spirit of turpentine, with which I sympathize, and which heals my cuts. It is as immortal as I am, and perchance will go to as high a heaven, there to tower above me still.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
