Human Corpses

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or corpses:

“It is almost everywhere the case that soon after it is begotten the greater part of human wisdom is laid to rest in repositories.”

“O how can it be that the ground itself does not sicken?
How can you be alive you growths of spring?
How can you furnish health you blood of herbs, roots, orchards, grain?
Are they not continually putting distemper’d corpses within you?
Is not every continent work’d over and over with sour dead?”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
