Human Corpses

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or corpses:

“Of a truth, Knowledge is power, but it is a power reined by scruple, having a conscience of what must be and what may be; whereas Ignorance is a blind giant who, let him but wax unbound, would make it a sport to seize the pillars that hold up the long- wrought fabric of human good, and turn all the places of joy as dark as a buried Babylon.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

“Our Mother, shall we rise on Mary’s day
In Maryland, wherever corpses married
Under the rubble, bundled together?”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
