Famous quotes containing the words common and/or agents:

    “All this class of pleasures inspires me with the same nausea as I feel at the sight of rich plum-cake or sweetmeats; I prefer the driest bread of common life.”
    —Sydney Smith (1771–1845)

    “Luckless is the country in which the symbols of procreation are the objects of shame, while the agents of destruction are honored! And yet you call that member your pudendum, or shameful part, as if there were anything more glorious than creating life, or anything more atrocious than taking it away.”
    —Savinien Cyrano De Bergerac (1619–1655)
