Nerve Sensitivity

Famous quotes containing the words nerve and/or sensitivity:

day and night,
nothing we say has not the husky phlegm of it in the saying,
nothing we do has the quickness, the sureness,
the deep intelligence living at peace would have.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“...some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, “Go away, baldhead! Go away, baldhead!””
