Phrenic Nerve Passes

Famous quotes containing the words nerve and/or passes:

“The American people is out to get the kaiser. We are bending every nerve and every energy towards that end; anybody who gets in the way of the great machine the energy and devotion of a hundred million patriots is building towards the stainless purpose of saving civilization from the Huns will be mashed like a fly. I’m surprised that a collegebred man like you hasn’t more sense. Don’t monkey with the buzzsaw.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

“Nature is a temple where living pillars
Sometimes emit confused words;
Man passes through forests of symbols
Which observe him with familiar looks.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
