The robe of flesh wears thin, and with the years God shines through all things.

"The Wise Years", The Moon Endureth (1912)John Buchan
"She staggers over to the bathroom door and grabs the edge of it to balance herself and blood starts running down her legs in thin rivulets and when she lifts up the robe we both can see her underwear soaked with blood and she pulls it off, panicking, and suddenly a huge gush of blood expels itself from beneath the robe, splashing all over the bathroom floor.
Bret Easton Ellis
What is the flesh and blood compounded of
But a few moments in the life of time?
This prowling of the cells, litigious love,
Wears the long claw of flesh-arguing crime.Allen Tate
…guilt is a rope that wears thin...
Ayn Rand
I can't explain why I shine and no one else shines. I think everybody shines in different things.
Tupac Shakur
One, two and many: flesh had made him blind,
Flesh had one pleasure only in the act,
Flesh set one purpose only in the mind —
Triumph of flesh and afterwards to find
Still those same terrors wherewith flesh was racked.Robert Graves
