Smells

Famous quotes containing the word smells:

    It smells like gangrene starting in a mildewed silo; it tastes like the wrath to come, and when you absorb a deep swig of it you have all the sensations of having swallowed a lighted kerosene lamp.
    —For the State of Kentucky, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    O, my offense is rank, it smells to heaven,
    It hath the primal eldest curse upon’t,
    A brother’s murder.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Razors pain you;
    Rivers are damp;
    Acids stain you;
    And drugs cause cramp.
    Guns aren’t lawful;
    Nooses give;
    Gas smells awful;
    You might as well live.
    Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
