Famous quotes containing the word hair:

    “And now he comes again with clatter of stone,
    And mounts the wall again with whited eyes
    And all his tail that isn’t hair up straight.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “A woman with cut hair is a filthy spectacle, and much like a monster ... it being natural and comely to women to nourish their hair, which even God and nature have given them for a covering, a token of subjection, and a natural badge to distinguish them from men.”
    —William Prynne (1600–1669)

    “Now the runaways would run no more and never
    again would their hair be tangled into diamonds,
    never again their shoes worn down to a laugh,
    never the bed falling down into purgatory
    to let them climb in after
    with their Lucifer kicking.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
