Primal Pain

Famous quotes containing the words primal and/or pain:

    For poetry was all written before time was, and whenever we are so finely organized that we can penetrate into that region where the air is music, we hear those primal warblings, and attempt to write them down, but we lose ever and anon a word, a verse, and substitute something of our own, and thus miswrite the poem.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    There was a faith-healer of Deal
    Who said, “Although pain isn’t real,
    If I sit on a pin
    And it punctures my skin,
    I dislike what I don’t think I feel.”
