Ruth Gordon
Image
In this particular tub, two knees jut up like icebergs, while minute brown hairs rise on arms and legs in a fringe of kelp green soap navigates the tidal slosh of seas breaking on legendary beaches in faith we shall board our imagined ship and wildly sail among sacred islands of the mad till death shatters the fabulous stars and makes us real.
Sylvia Plath

A Hebrew knelt in the dying light, His eye was dim and cold The hairs on his brow were silver white, And his blood was thin and old.
Thomas Kibble Hervey

The art of splitting hairs four ways. This is the department of useless techniques. Mechanical Avunculogratulation, for example, is how to build machines for greeting uncles. We're not sure, though, if Pylocatabasis belongs, since it's the art of being saved by a hair. Somehow that doesn't seem completely useless.
Umberto Eco

There’s no grandfatherly fondness in me, There are no gray hairs in my soul! Shaking the world with my voice and grinning, I pass you by, - handsome, Twentytwoyearold.

Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you I will sustain you and I will rescue you.
Isaiah

Pretty! in amber to observe the forms Of hairs, of straws, or dirt, or grubs, or worms! The things, we know, are neither rich nor rare, But wonder how the devil they got there.
Alexander Pope

I refuse to think of them as chin hairs. I think of them as stray eyebrows.
Janette Barber

Did you know that according to legend, the guy who became Buddha decided to seek enlightenment the day he got a touch of gray? Gray hairs, the would-be Buddha said, are like angels sent by the god of death.
Anderson Cooper

So, lively brisk old fellow, don't let age get you down. White hairs or not, you can still be a lover.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
And each stroke of his tongue ripped off skin after successive skin, all the skins of a life in the world, and left behind a nascent patina of shining hairs. My earrings turned back to water and trickled down my shoulders I shrugged the drops off my beautiful fur.
Angela Carter
Image
Defoe was level and anyone who says otherwise is picking hairs
John Motson
Image
When we're dealing with the people in our family - no matter how annoying or gross they may be, no matter how self-inflicted their suffering may appear, no matter how afflicted they are with ignorance, prejudice or nose hairs - we give from the deepest parts of ourselves.
Anne Lamott

Are those cat hairs on your lapel, or have you been dating a blonde with a crew cut?
Lilian Jackson Braun
Image
I think most people, even if they say they hate horror movies, there's that feeling you get inside that you love. I mean, I love it. I love to have the hairs on the back of my neck stand up or get that chill up my spine.
Barry Watson
Image
I didn’t look back, but I knew you were still watching. It probably sounds weird, but I could just feel it. The hairs on my neck bristled when you blinked.

It hurts the bald-head just as much as the thatched-head to have his hairs plucked.

Maggie Stiefvater
Image
He had long nostril hairs, powerfully intimidating, like an unscheduled nightmare.
Charles Bukowski
Image
These wrinkles are nothing These gray hairs are nothing, This stomach which sags with old food, these bruised and swollen ankles, my darkening brain, they are nothing. I am the same boy my mother used to kiss.
Mark Strand
Image
I don't have to psych myself up, or do something special mentally - I look through the scope, get my target in the cross hairs, and kill my enemy, before he kills one of my people.
Chris Kyle
Image
Avarice, with all its black attendants, is confessedly a crime of old age, and seldom arrives at maturity till accompanied with gray hairs.
