Famous quotes containing the words neck and/or injury:
“Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive,
Half wishing they were dead to save the shame.
The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow;
They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats,
And flare up bodily, wings and all. What then?
Who’s sorry for a gnat ... or girl?”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
“At last, an injury suffered brings you back to my bed, expelling you from the doors of another!”
—Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)
