Famous quotes containing the words tongue, root and/or position:
“I mind how once we lay such a transparent summer morning,
How you settled your head athwart my hips and gently turn’d over

And parted the shirt from my bosom-bone, and plunged your tongue to my bare-stript heart,
And reach’d till you felt my beard, and reach’d till you held my
feet.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“Evil being the root of mystery, pain is the root of knowledge.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“Men have an extraordinarily erroneous opinion of their position in nature; and the error is ineradicable.”
