White Hairs

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or hairs:

    The symmetrical piles of white bodies,
    the round white breast-shapes of the heaps,
    the smell of the smoke, the dogs the wires the
    rope the hunger. It had happened to others.
    There was a word for us. I was: a Jew.

    Though those who study are as many as the number of hairs on an ox, those who succeed are as rare as unicorns’ horns.
