Sins

Famous quotes containing the word sins:

—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“Other sins only speak; murder shrieks out:
The element of water moistens the earth,
But blood flies upwards, and bedews the heavens.”
—John Webster (1580–1625)

“Once a woman has forgiven her man, she must not reheat his sins for breakfast.”
—Marlene Dietrich (1904–1992)
