Optic Nerve Head

Famous quotes containing the words nerve and/or head:

“Social questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce great poetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama; but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

“Your head was
radiant in its emptiness,
a small clean room.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
