Famous quotes containing the word mouth:

    “I know the compassion of others is a relief at first. I don’t despise it. But it can’t quench pain, it slips through your soul as through a sieve. And when our suffering has been dragged from one pity to another, as from one mouth to another, we can no longer respect or love it.”
    —Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)

    “Her face is like the moon.
    Her mouth tastes like the drink of life.
    Her wild, hot kiss
    with a pull of her hair ...
    what’s THAT like?”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    “Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength
    because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the
    avenger.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm VIII (l. VIII, 2)
