Human Corpses

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or corpses:

“Lying increases the creative faculties, expands the ego, lessens the friction of social contacts.... It is only in lies, wholeheartedly and bravely told, that human nature attains through words and speech the forebearance, the nobility, the romance, the idealism, that—being what it is—it falls so short of in fact and in deed.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)

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