Thorny Headed Worm

Famous quotes containing the words thorny, headed and/or worm:

    Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
    Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven,
    Whilst like a puffed and reckless libertine
    Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads,
    And recks not his own rede.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    It must have looked as if the course
    He steered was really straight away
    From that which he was headed for
    Not much concerned for them, I say;
    No more so than became a man
    And politician at odd seasons.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    You have made your way from worm to man, and much in you is still worm. Once you were apes, and even now man is still more ape than any ape.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
