“My head is full of fire
and grief and my tongue
runs wild, pierced
with shards of glass.”

Spanish poet, dramatist and theatre director 1898–1936Related quotes

“Still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild.”
Changes
Song lyrics, Hunky Dory (1971)
Context: Still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild.
A million dead-end streets and
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet.
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test.

“Haymitch in my head full-time. Horrifying”
Haymitch Abernathy and Katniss (pp. 110-111)

Context: "This is your earpiece. I will give you exactly one more chance to wear it. If you remove it from your ear again, I'll have you fitted with this." He holds up some sort of metal headgear that I instantly name the head shackle. "It's an alternative audio unit that locks around your skull and under your chin until it's opened with a key. And I'll have the only key. If for some reason you're clever enough to disable it,"—Haymitch dumps the head shackle on the bed and whips out a tiny silver chip—"I'll authorize them to surgically implant this transmitter into your ear so that I may speak to you twenty-four hours a day."
Haymitch in my head full-time. Horrifying. "I'll keep the earpiece in," I mutter.

“I went out to the hazelwood because a fire was in my head.”
