Famous quotes containing the word smells:
“We praise Him, we bless Him, we adore Him, we glorify Him, and we wonder who is that baritone across the aisle and that pretty woman on our right who smells of apple blossoms. Our bowels stir and our cod itches and we amend our prayers for the spiritual life with the hope that it will not be too spiritual.”
—John Cheever (1912–1982)
“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)
“Gloucester. O, let me kiss that hand!
Lear. Let me wipe it first, it smells of mortality.
Gloucester. O ruined piece of nature! This great world
Shall so wear out to nought.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
