Foul Territory

Famous quotes containing the words foul and/or territory:

“I will through and through
Cleanse the foul body of th’ infected world,
If they will patiently receive my medicine.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“When the excessively shy force themselves to be forward, they are frequently surprisingly unsubtle and overdirect and even rude: they have entered an extreme region beyond their normal personality, an area of social crime where gradations don’t count; unavailable to them are the instincts and taboos that booming extroverts, who know the territory of self-advancement far better, can rely on.”
—Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
