Cold

Famous quotes containing the word cold:

“If her horny feet protrude, they come
To show how cold she is, and dumb.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“Old age grows cold to love.”
—Virgil [Publius Vergilius Maro] (70–19 B.C.)

“Knighterrantry is a most chuckleheaded trade, and it is tedious hard work, too, but I begin to see that there is money in it, after all, if you have luck. Not that I would ever engage in it, as a business, for I wouldn’t. No sound and legitimate business can be established on a basis of speculation. A successful whirl in the knighterrantry line—now what is it when you blow away the nonsense and come down to the cold facts? It’s just a corner in pork, that’s all.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
