Famous quotes containing the words head and/or temples:

    “Sebastian: Angel was like cognac, all fire in a glass. But you, you are like champagne. Sparkling, tantalizing, you make a man’s head spin.
    Holly: Pheww ... you’ve got a terrific line.”
    —Fredric M. Frank (1911–1977)

    “This city now doth, like a garment, wear
    The beauty of the morning; silent bare,
    Ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples lie
    Open unto the fields and to the sky;
    All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
