What are head hunters?

Famous quotes containing the words head and/or hunters:

    When we stand the truth on its head we generally fail to notice that our head is not standing where it should be standing either.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Runs falls rises stumbles on from darkness into darkness
    and the darkness thicketed with shapes of terror
    and the hunters pursuing and the hounds pursuing
    and the night cold and the night long and the river
    to cross and the jack-muh-lanterns beckoning beckoning
    and blackness ahead
    Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
