Sucking Lice

Famous quotes containing the words sucking and/or lice:

“So if hunger provokes wailing and wailing brings the breast; if the breast permits sucking and milk suggests its swallow; if swallowing issues in sleep and stomachy comfort, then need, ache, message, object, act, and satisfaction are soon associated like charms on a chain; shortly our wants begin to envision the things which well reduce them, and the organism is finally said to wish.”
—William Gass (b. 1924)

“He who has many lice doesn’t scratch; he who has many debts doesn’t worry.”
—Chinese proverb.
