Our tissues change as we live: the food we eat and the air we breathe become flesh of our flesh and bone of our bone, and the momentary elements of our flesh and bone pass out of our body every day with our excreta. We are but whirlpools in a river of ever-flowing water. We are not stuff that abides, but patterns that perpetuate themselves

Norbert Wiener

I liked beaches, swimming pools, and clinics for there they were the bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh. I pitied them and myself, but this will not protect me. The word and the thought are over.

Czeslaw Milosz

My son, you are now flesh of our flesh and bone of our bone. By the ceremony performed this day, every drop of white blood was washed from your veins; you were taken into the Shawnee Nation.

Chief Blackfish

A family spirit is not always synonymous with family life. Bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh makes for brothers, sisters and relatives, who may be as distant as strangers in a foreign land.

Mother Angelica

Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone, I here, though there, yet both but one.

Anne Bradstreet

alone with everybody the flesh covers the bone and they put a mind in there and sometimes a soul, and the women break vases against the walls and them men drink too much and nobody finds the one but they keep looking crawling in and out of beds. flesh covers the bone and the flesh searches for more than flesh. there's no chance at all: we are all trapped by a singular fate. nobody ever finds the one. the city dumps fill the junkyards fill the madhouses fill the hospitals fill the graveyards fill nothing else fills.

Charles Bukowski

Man is born of woman, he is flesh of her flesh and bone of her bone.

Mahatma Gandhi

Should God create another Eve, and I Another Rib afford, yet loss of thee Would never from my heart; no no, I feel The Link of Nature draw me: Flesh of Flesh, Bone of my Bone thou art, and from thy State Mine never shall be parted, bliss or woe.

John Milton

Wisdom remembers. Happiness forgets.

Mason Cooley

Loneliness remembers what happiness forgets

Hal David

The body remembers what your mind forgets.

Martha Manning

When I'm right, no one remembers.When I am wrong, no one forgets.

Larry Goetz

We forget the origin of a parvenu if he remembers it; we remember it if he forgets it.

Jean Antoine Petit-Senn

No word matters. But man forgets reality and remembers words.

Roger Zelazny

The brain forgets much, but the lower back remembers everything.

Robert Breault

Our bones ache only while the flesh is on them. Stretch it as thin as the temple flesh of an ailing woman and still it serves to ache the bone and to move the bone about; and in like manner the night is a skin pulled over the head of day that the day may be in a torment. We will find no comfort until the night melts away; until the fury of the night rots out its fire.

Djuna Barnes
