Famous quotes containing the words dirty and/or word:

“A dirty house in a gutted world,
A tatter of shadows peaked to white,
Smeared with the gold of the opulent sun.”

“The only chance for victory over the brainwash is the right of every man to have his ideas judged one at a time. You never get clarity as long as you have these packaged words, as long as a word is used by twenty-five people in twenty-five different ways. That seems to me to be the first fight, if there is going to be any intellect left.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
