Famous quotes containing the words specific and/or bodies:

    “No more distressing moment can ever face a British government than that which requires it to come to a hard, fast and specific decision.”
    —Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)

    “Remember all those renowned generations,
    They left their bodies to fatten the wolves,
    They left their homesteads to fatten the foxes,
    Fled to far countries, or sheltered themselves
    In cavern, crevice or hole,
    Defending Ireland’s soul.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
