Bad Fire

Famous quotes containing the words bad and/or fire:

    I durst not laugh for fear of opening my lips and receiving the bad air.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    My paternal grandmother would not light a fire on the Sabbath and piled all Sunday’s washing-up in a bucket, to be dealt with on Monday morning, because the Sabbath was a day of rest—a practice that made my paternal grandfather, the village atheist, as mad as fire. Nevertheless, he willed five quid to the minister, just to be on the safe side.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)
