Famous quotes containing the words nose and/or picking:
“Three miles long and two streets wide, the town curls around the bay ... a gaudy run with Mediterranean splashes of color, crowded steep-pitched roofs, fishing piers and fishing boats whose stench of mackerel and gasoline is as aphrodisiac to the sensuous nose as the clean bar-whisky smell of a nightclub where call girls congregate.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“Cripples, above all men, should be companionable, or, at least, refrain from picking a fellow-limper to pieces.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
