Clipped Head

Famous quotes containing the words clipped and/or head:

    And our dreams,
    with what frivolity we have pared them
    like toenails, clipped them like ends of
    split hair.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    It is easy to see that, even in the freedom of early youth, an American girl never quite loses control of herself; she enjoys all permitted pleasures without losing her head about any of them, and her reason never lets the reins go, though it may often seem to let them flap.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
