Dirty Air

Famous quotes containing the words dirty and/or air:

    “Oh, it is I,
    Incredibly skinny, stooped, and neat as pie,
    Ignorant as dirt, erotic as an ape,
    Dreamy as puberty—with dirty hair!”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    “It so happened that, a few weeks later, “Old Ernie” [Ernest Hemingway] himself was using my room in New York as a hide-out from literary columnists and reporters during one of his rare stopover visits between Africa and Key West. On such all-too-rare occasions he lends an air of virility to my dainty apartment which I miss sorely after he has gone and all the furniture has been repaired.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
