Famous quotes containing the words head and/or hunting:
“A king’s head is solemnly oiled at his coronation, even as a head of salad.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“The French manner of hunting is gentlemanlike; ours is only for bumpkins and bodies. The poor beasts here are pursued and run down by much greater beasts than themselves; and the true British fox-hunter is most undoubtedly a species appropriated and peculiar to this country, which no other part of the globe produces.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
