Famous quotes containing the words human and/or anatomy:

    All grandeur, all power, all subordination to authority rests on the executioner: he is the horror and the bond of human association. Remove this incomprehensible agent from the world and at that very moment order gives way to chaos, thrones topple and society disappears.
    Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)

    I love to see, when leaves depart,
    The clear anatomy arrive,
    Roy Campbell (1902–1957)
