Skin Prick

Famous quotes containing the words skin and/or prick:

“my soul lingers over the skin of you
and I wonder if I’m ruining all we had,
and had not,
by making this break,
this torn wedding ring,
this wrenched life....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge. The villainy you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
