Famous quotes containing the words john and/or shown:

    When John Henry was a little fellow,
    You could hold him in the palm of your hand,
    He said to his pa, “When I grow up
    I’m gonna be a steel-driving man.
    Gonna be a steel-driving man.”
    —Unknown. John Henry (l. 1–5)

    He had robbed the body of its taint, the world’s taunts of their sting; he had shown her the holiness of direct desire.
