Napiers Bones/genaille%e2%80%93lucas Rulers

Famous quotes containing the words bones and/or rulers:

    The eyes, opening and shutting like keyholes
    and never forgetting, recording by thousands,
    the skull with its brains like eels
    the tablet of the world
    the bones and their joints
    that build and break for any trick....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The rulers of the earth are all worth knowing; they suggest moral reflections: and the respect that one naturally has for God’s vice-regents here on earth is greatly increased by acquaintance with them.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
