Famous quotes containing the words nose and/or picking:
“Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.”
—English proverb, collected in George Herbert’s Outlandish Proverbs (1640)
“And Death fell with me, like a deepening moan.
And He, picking a manner of worm, which half had hid
Its bruises in the earth, but crawled no further,
Showed me its feet, the feet of many men,
And the fresh-severed head of it, my head.”
—Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)
