Heads

Famous quotes containing the word heads:

    What I am now warning the People of is, That the News-Papers of this Island are as pernicious to weak Heads in England as ever Books of Chivalry to Spain; and therefore shall do all that in me lies, with the utmost Care and Vigilance imaginable, to prevent these growing Evils.
    Richard Steele (1672–1729)

    There are old heads in the world who cannot help me by their example or advice to live worthily and satisfactorily to myself; but I believe that it is in my power to elevate myself this very hour above the common level of my life.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    What shall we say of the bones, unclean,
    Whose verdurous anonymity will grow?
    The ragged arms, the ragged heads and eyes
    Lost in these acres of the insane green?
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
