Famous quotes containing the word neck:
“If with light head erect I sing,
Though all the muses lend their force,
From my poor love of anything,
The verse is weak and shallow as its source.
But if with bended neck I grope,
Listening behind me for my wit,
With faith superior to hope,
More anxious to keep back than forward it,”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“After all, it is not where one washes ones neck that counts but where one moistens ones throat.”
—Djuna Barnes (18921982)
