quotations about baldness

attributed, Women Know Everything!
I bet the reason people are afraid of going bald is because it makes them think of the end of life. I mean, when your hair starts to thin, it must feel as if your life is being worn away ... as if you've taken a giant step in the direction of death, the last Big Consumption.

I started going bald in college--thank you, God. I remember combing my hair in the communal bathroom when my friend Bevo sneaked up behind, gave me the evil eye, and then tossed off this remark: "You're going bald." That is not what a twenty-one-year-old wants to hear. I'd been thinking about it--that's why I was peering so intently at my hair in the mirror. But out of my mouth came these words: "I've always had a high forehead."
