Thorny Headed Worm

Famous quotes containing the words thorny, headed and/or worm:

    Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
    Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven,
    Whilst like a puffed and reckless libertine
    Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads,
    And recks not his own rede.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I’m headed for a land that’s far away
    Beside the crystal fountains.
    So come with me, we’ll go and see
    The Big Rock Candy Mountains.
    —Unknown. The Big Rock Candy Mountains (l. 5–8)

    Son of the village chief,
    you’re pitiless,
    scared of your wife
    and as difficult to see
    as a worm in bitter fruit.
    The village is starving itself over you
    in spite of it all.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
