Pierced Nose

Famous quotes containing the words pierced and/or nose:

    He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in
    a lordly dish.
    She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen’s
    hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sis’e-ra, she smote off his
    head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.
    Bible: Hebrew Judges (l. V, 25–26)

    I sometimes have the sense that I live my life as a writer with my nose pressed against the wide, shiny plate glass window of the “mainstream” culture. The world seems full of straight, large-circulation, slick periodicals which wouldn’t think of reviewing my book and bookstores which will never order it.
    Jan Clausen (b. 1943)
