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)

    The supreme satisfaction is to be able to despise one’s neighbour and this fact goes far to account for religious intolerance. It is evidently consoling to reflect that the people next door are headed for hell.
    Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

    A worm tells summer better than the clock,
    The slug’s a living calendar of days;
    What shall it tell me if a timeless insect
    Says the world wears away?
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
