Rot

Famous quotes containing the word rot:

“Much attribute he hath, and much the reason
Why we ascribe it to him; yet all his virtues,
Not virtuously of his own part beheld,
Do in our eyes begin to lose their gloss,
Yea, like fair fruit in an unwholesome dish,
Are like to rot untasted.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

And it’s over and over and all ...”

Sir Charles: Oh, it takes years for people to rot.”
