Mouth

Famous quotes containing the word mouth:

“Man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.”
—Bible: Hebrew Deuteronomy, 8:3.

Jesus recalls these words in Matthew 4:4.

“It is not that the Englishman can’t feel—it is that he is afraid to feel. He has been taught at his public school that feeling is bad form. He must not express great joy or sorrow, or even open his mouth too wide when he talks—his pipe might fall out if he did.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)

“... with her shoulders as bare as a building,
with her thin foot and her thin toes,
with an old red hook in her mouth,
the mouth that kept bleeding
into the terrible fields of her soul . . .”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
