Dirty Word

Famous quotes containing the words dirty and/or word:

    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)

    And the friend not hesitates
    To assign just place and mates;
    Answers not in word or letter,
    Yet is understood the better;
    Is to his friend a looking-glass,
    Reflects his figure that doth pass.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
