Famous quotes containing the words tooth and/or decay:
“If she must teem,
Create her child of spleen, that it may live
And be a thwart disnatured torment to her!
Let it stamp wrinkles in her brow of youth,
With cadent tears fret channels in her cheeks,
Turn all her mother’s pains and benefits
To laughter and contempt, that she may feel
How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is
To have a thankless child!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“She is a prude in her own defence ... under the specious mask of propriety, she conceals the decay of her worn-out charms.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
