Olden

Famous quotes containing the word olden:

“Animals used to provide a lowlife way to kill and get away with it, as they do still, but, more intriguingly, for some people they are an aperture through which wounds drain. The scapegoat of olden times, driven off for the bystanders’ sins, has become a tender thing, a running injury. There, running away ... is me: hurt it and you are hurting me.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)

“In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
But now, God knows,
Anything goes.”
—Cole Porter (1893–1964)
