Famous quotes containing the words nerve and/or pinch:
“our nerve filaments twitch with its presence
day and night,
nothing we say has not the husky phlegm of it in the saying,
nothing we do has the quickness, the sureness,
the deep intelligence living at peace would have.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“There cannot be a pinch in death
More sharp than this is.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
