Famous quotes containing the words body and/or head:
“Tobacco, divine, rare, superexcellent tobacco, which goes far beyond all the panaceas, potable gold, and philosophers stones, a sovereign remedy to all diseases ... but as it is commonly abused by most men, which take it as tinkers do ale, tis a plague, a mischief, a violent purger of goods, lands, health; hellish, devilish and damned tobacco, the ruin and overthrow of body and soul.”
—Robert Burton (15771640)
“My father upon the Abbey stage, before him a raging crowd.
This Land of Saints, and then as the applause died out,
Of plaster Saints; his beautiful mischievous head thrown back.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
