“It is better to crush a gland instead of an oak.”

“The good are better made by ill,
As odours crushed are sweeter still.”

“Some crushes just never went away. They built, instead, into something permanent, obsessive and all consuming.”

“Next time I start to develop a crush on someone please just punch me in the face instead.”

“Every organ is a hormone-producing gland.”

“An oak tree is an oak tree. That is all it has to do. If an oak tree is less than an oak tree, then we are all in trouble.”

“The brain is a gland of unity: the brain is one with the body.”

“A song to the oak, the brave old oak,
Who hath ruled in the greenwood long!”

“Heart of oak are our ships,
Heart of oak are our men;
We always are ready.”

“Under oak, ash and thorn
My soul was born.
Under thorn, oak and ash
My body bent to the lash.
Under ash, thorn and oak
My heart broke.
Under oak, ash and thorn all three
I was nailed to a tree.”
