And when their bones into confusion fall, Say ye, who knew the living man by sight, Which is the villein now and which the knight? (Walther von der Vogelweide)
If we're going to solve the problems of the world, we have to learn how to talk to one another. Poetry is the language at its essence. It's the bones and the skeleton of the language. It teaches you, if nothing else, how to choose your words. View quote
Rita Dove
I've heard it said that God is in the details. It's the same with the truth. Leave out the details, the crucial heart, and you can damn someone with the bare bones of it. View quote
Libba Bray

Diane Ackerman
The bones of Cambodia, and the millions who risked death to flee communist Vietnam and Laos for an uncertain life anywhere else, tells us about the moral value, though not necessarily the military tactical wisdom, of the anti-communist cause. View quote
Alan Charles Kors
His face was a frame of strong brutal bones, so hard, the set of his jaw so aggressive, that it brought to mind Teuton warriors, shouts, winging of axes, berserk. View quote
Alexander Baron
You laughed for the marrow in their bones that was not yet ready for laughter; And you wept for their eyes that yet were dry. View quote
Kahlil Gibran
What does it matter whether millions of semi-brainless beings curse or bless my memory? It is equally one to me whether they hang my bones in chains like they did the bones of Cromwell, or build a pyramid of stone over my mouldering coffin. Today only do I regard. Today I know. Today is mine. Today I wish to be something. View quote
Arthur Desmond
Dry bones make good flutes. (Avner Strauss)
Dancers have more bones than most people and on the days when you work hard you are sure that you have somehow accumulated more bones than you started with. View quote
Martha Graham

Charles Baudelaire
I have always heard in the music what I am finding out from the books: the man was a tyrant who beat his musicians with insults and temper tantrums. He never smiled when conducting (not even in rehearsals!) never thanked or complimented his men, never made them feel they were valuable partners or had even done a creditable job. He would fail to give them cues, then blame them with curses and insults for needing them! Besides being a compulsive perfectionist, he was childish, petulant, inconsiderate, monomaniacal, and monstrously self-centered. His technique was fear, and I always heard that fear in his music...Reading about him - especially books by people who worked with him - strongly confirmed what I had felt in my bones" View quote

Somewhere in our DNA must lie the key mutation (or, more probably, mutations) that set us apart-the mutations that make us the sort of creature that could wipe out its nearest relative, then dig up its bones and reassemble its genome. View quote
Elizabeth Kolbert
Metaphorically speaking, free African-American politicians and activists are boiling the bones of their enslaved ancestors to make soup. The suffering of slaves is being exploited posthumously to shape discourse in politically advantageous ways. View quote

When people look of non-avian dinosaur they're thinking of extrapolating a cow up to that size. Mammals are much much denser than birds are, because a lot of the skeletons of sauropods (the big, long-necked ones-Apatosaurus, Brachiosaurus and the like) and theropod dinosaurs are just air. Theropods don't have solid bones like we do; they have hollow bones. Sauropods don't, but they have tremendous air sacs that fill up a lot of their bodies. And thus they weigh way less than a mammal scaled up to that size. View quote

The more that we learn about these animals the more we find that there is basically no difference between birds and their closely related dinosaur ancestors like velociraptor. Both have wishbones, brooded their nests, possess hollow bones, and were covered in feathers. If animals like velociraptor were alive today our first impression would be that they were just very unusual looking birds. View quote

Arise from my bones, my unknown avenger. View quote
John Conington
... dinosaur bones that are supposedly millions of years old have been found to show evidence of arthritis, abscesses, and osteoarthritis. Evidence of cancer and other diseases have also been found in fossil bones. So, if a Christian believes the fossil record was laid down millions of years before the first two people, then they've accepted that there were all sorts of horrible diseases in this world before sin. How could God have described such a world as VERY GOOD?... No - our answers in Genesis make it clear that there were NO diseases before sin. This is another reason why Christians cannot believe in millions of years to form the fossil record. (Ken Ham)
Revenge... is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion. View quote

Fill all thy bones with aches. View quote
William Shakespeare
Cursed be he that moves my bones. View quote
William Shakespeare
I love him for his sake; And yet I know him a notorious liar, Think him a great way fool, solely a coward; Yet these fix'd evils sit so fit in him That they take place when virtue's steely bones Looks bleak i' th' cold wind; withal, full oft we see Cold wisdom waiting on superfluous folly.
