Famous quotes containing the words heavy and/or oil:

    “that blessed mood,
    In which the burthen of the mystery,
    In which the heavy and the weary weight
    Of all this unintelligible world
    Is lightened:—”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “I became increasingly anarchistic. I began to find people of my own class vicious, people in clean collars uninteresting. I even accepted smells, personal as well as official. Everyone who came to the studio smelled either of machine oil or herring.”
    —Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
