Human Corpses

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or corpses:

“Justice is a moral virtue, merely because it has that tendency to the good of mankind, and indeed is nothing but an artificial invention to that purpose. The same may be said of allegiance, of the laws of nations, of modesty, and of good manners. All these are mere human contrivances for the interest of society.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)

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