Long Bones

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or bones:

“Then I said to myself, “What happens to the fool will happen to me also; why then have I been so very wise?” And I said to myself that this also is vanity. For there is no enduring remembrance of the wise or of fools, seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. How can the wise die just like fools?”
—Bible: Hebrew, Ecclesiastes 2:15-16.

“But the bones didn’t try
The door; they halted helpless on the landing,
Waiting for things to happen in their favor.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
