Famous quotes containing the words neck and/or pain:

    “It is getting dark and time he drew to a house,
    But the blizzard blinds him to any house ahead.
    The storm gets down his neck in any icy souse
    That sucks his breath like a wicked cat in bed.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “There was a faith-healer of Deal
    Who said, “Although pain isn’t real,
    If I sit on a pin
    And it punctures my skin,
    I dislike what I don’t think I feel.””
    —Anonymous.
