Dirty

Famous quotes containing the word dirty:

    There is no release
    In a bodkin or disease,
    Nor can there be a work so great
    As that which cleans man’s dirty slate.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Wherever a man goes, men will pursue him and paw him with their dirty institutions, and, if they can, constrain him to belong to their desperate odd-fellow society.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    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)
