A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor.
Aldous Huxley
America forms the longest and straightest bone in the earth's skeleton.
Ellsworth Huntington
If you can't get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you'd best teach it to dance.
George Bernard Shaw
If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.
George Bernard Shaw
Lucy brought with her an image of our human ancestors that you don't get when you find a jaw or an arm bone or a leg bone. Here was 40 percent of a single skeleton.
Donald Johanson
Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.
Audre Lorde
Rigid, the skeleton of habit alone upholds the human frame.
Virginia Woolf
The progress of science is strewn, like an ancient desert trail, with the bleached skeleton of discarded theories which once seemed to possess eternal life.
Arthur Koestler
The world dies over and over again, but the skeleton always gets up and walks.
Henry Miller
There is something about a closet that makes a skeleton terribly restless.
Wilson Mizner
There's got to be a backbone, there's got to be a skeleton to the whole way I perform, but you never want to hit the same note twice during a performance, I think. I think it's always got to be fresh so it doesn't bore me, and I always want to go out on edge.
