To me, they are as beautiful as anything I know, strangely more living than the animals walking around. The bones seem to cut sharply to the center of something that is keenly alive in the desert, even though it is vast and empty and untouchable, and knows no kindness with all its beauty.

—Georgia O'Keeffe

—Reba McEntire

~

A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog when you are just as hungry as the dog.

—Jack London

~

What a dog I got. His favorite bone is in my arm.

—Rodney Dangerfield

And your bones have been
my bedframe
and your flesh has been
my pillow.

I believe them bones are me.

—Alice in Chains
