Hair Shaft

Famous quotes containing the words hair and/or shaft:

    And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 5:36.

    Why should not our whole life and its scenery be actually thus fair and distinct? All our lives want a suitable background. They should at least, like the life of the anchorite, be as impressive to behold as objects in a desert, a broken shaft or crumbling mound against a limitless horizon.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
