Famous quotes containing the word hair:
“Her face is like the moon.
Her mouth tastes like the drink of life.
Her wild, hot kiss
with a pull of her hair ...
what’s THAT like?”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

Amid the slant stones of graveyards.
Pale ghosts who planted you
Came in the night-time
And let their thin hair blow through your clustered stems.”

“If I be false, or swerve a hair from truth,
When time is old and hath forgot itself,
When waterdrops have worn the stones of Troy,
And blind oblivion swallowed cities up,
And mighty states characterless are grated
To dusty nothing, yet let memory
From false to false among false maids in love
Upbraid my falsehood.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
