Famous quotes containing the words neck and/or pain:
“If with light head erect I sing,
Though all the muses lend their force,
From my poor love of anything,
The verse is weak and shallow as its source.
But if with bended neck I grope,
Listening behind me for my wit,
With faith superior to hope,
More anxious to keep back than forward it,”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What makes the pain we feel from shame and jealousy so cutting is that vanity can give us no assistance in bearing them.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
