Tongue/physiology

Famous quotes containing the words tongue and/or physiology:

    Ye could not know where lies a thing so fair,
    No stone is there to show, no tongue to say,
    What was; no dirge, except the hollow sea’s,
    Mourns o’er the beauty of the Cyclades.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    If church prelates, past or present, had even an inkling of physiology they’d realise that what they term this inner ugliness creates and nourishes the hearing ear, the seeing eye, the active mind, and energetic body of man and woman, in the same way that dirt and dung at the roots give the plant its delicate leaves and the full-blown rose.
    Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
