Famous quotes containing the word dirty:
“I know were not saints or virgins or lunatics; we know all the lust and lavatory jokes, and most of the dirty people; we can catch buses and count our change and cross the roads and talk real sentences. But our innocence goes awfully deep, and our discreditable secret is that we dont know anything at all, and our horrid inner secret is that we dont care that we dont.”
—Dylan Thomas (19141953)
“All parents occasionally have ambivalent feelings toward their children. We love our kids, but there are times when we dont really like them, or at least we cant stand what our children are doing. But most of us keep those feelings to ourselves, as if its dirty little secret. It doesnt fit in with our images of what we should do and feel as parents.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“The change of Philomel, by the barbarous king
So rudely forced: yet there the nightingale
Filled all the desert with inviolable voice
And still she cried, and still the world pursues,
Jug Jug to dirty ears.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
