quotations about bones
Fair fall the bones that took the pains for me!
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
King John
Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
The Tempest
Live, die, something else lives. The very soil humanity walks upon is built up from death. Digging into a flowerbed means digging into bones.
M. JONES
Frankie & Formaldehyde
Rattle his bones
over the stones
its only a pauper
who nobody owns
NEIL GAIMAN
The Graveyard Book
I believe them bones are me
Some say we're born into the grave
I feel so alone, gonna end up a big ol' pile of them bones
ALICE IN CHAINS
"Them Bones", Dirt
He that gives thee a bone would not have thee die.
GEORGE HERBERT
