Famous quotes containing the word smart:
“The majority of persons choose their wives with as little prudence as they eat. They see a trull with nothing else to recommend her but a pair of thighs and choice hunkers, and so smart to void their seed that they marry her at once. They imagine they can live in marvelous contentment with handsome feet and ambrosial buttocks. Most men are accredited fools shortly after they leave the womb.”
—Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
“Agnes: A half-smart guy, that’s what I always draw. Never once a man who’s smart all the way around the course. Never once.
Philip Marlowe: I hurt you much, sugar?
Agnes: You and every other man I’ve ever met.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“Vanity is a vital aid to nature: completely and absolutely necessary to life. It is one of nature’s ways to bind you to the earth.”
—Elizabeth Smart (1913–1986)
