Famous quotes containing the words dirty and/or tricks:

    “A dirty joke is a sort of mental rebellion.”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)

    “Man, proud man,
    Drest in a little brief authority,
    Most ignorant of what he’s most assur’d,
    His glassy essence, like an angry ape,
    Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven,
    As make the angels weep.”
