Famous quotes containing the word hair:

    Every modern male has, lying at the bottom of his psyche, a large, primitive being covered with hair down to his feet. Making contact with this Wild Man is the step the Eighties male or the Nineties male has yet to take. That bucketing-out process has yet to begin in our contemporary culture.
    Robert Bly (b. 1926)

    A woman drew her long black hair out tight
    And fiddled whisper music on those strings
    And bats with baby faces in the violet light
    Whistled, and beat their wings
    And crawled head downward down a blackened wall....
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “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)
