Famous quotes containing the words deep and/or purple:
“And then a tall fat man with stringy hair
And a manner that was innocent of sin,

Spoke from the deep coherence of hell....”

“But that wasn’t fancy enough for Lord Byron, oh dear me no, he had to invent a lot of figures of speech and then interpolate them,
With the result that whenever you mention Old Testament soldiers to
people they say Oh yes, they’re the ones that a lot of wolves dressed up in gold and purple ate them.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
