Dirty

Famous quotes containing the word dirty:

    The trouble with writing a book about yourself is that you can’t fool around. If you write about someone else, you can stretch the truth from here to Finland. If you write about yourself the slightest deviation makes you realize instantly that there may be honor among thieves, but you are just a dirty liar.
    Groucho Marx (1895–1977)

    I’m waiting for my man
    Twenty-six dollars in my hand
    Up to Lexington 1-2-5
    Feeling sick and dirty more dead than alive
    I’m waiting for my man.
    Lou Reed (b. 1944)

    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)
