Swap Bodies

Famous quotes containing the words swap and/or bodies:

    If we should swap a good library for a second-rate stump speech and not ask for boot, it would be thoroughly in tune with our hearts. For deep within each of us lies politics. It is our football, baseball, and tennis rolled into one. We enjoy it; we will hitch up and drive for miles in order to hear and applaud the vitriolic phrases of a candidate we have already reckoned we’ll vote against.
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Would you ascend to Heaven and bodiless dwell?
    Or take your bodies honorless to Hell?

    In Heaven you have heard no marriage is,
    No white flesh tinder to your lecheries,
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
