Famous quotes containing the word hair:

    The departing year:
    from my parents I have kept
    my grey hair hidden.
    Etsujin (1656?–1739)

    A woman with cut hair is a filthy spectacle, and much like a monster ... it being natural and comely to women to nourish their hair, which even God and nature have given them for a covering, a token of subjection, and a natural badge to distinguish them from men.
    William Prynne (1600–1669)

    “You are old, father William,” the young man said,
    “And your hair has become very white;
    And yet you incessantly stand on your head
    Do you think, at your age, it is right?”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
