Bloody/euphemisms

Famous quotes containing the words bloody and/or euphemisms:

“They use the snaffle and the curb all right;
But where’s the bloody horse?”
—Roy Campbell (1902–1957)

“Euphemisms are not, as many young people think, useless verbiage for that which can and should be said bluntly; they are like secret agents on a delicate mission, they must airily pass by a stinking mess with barely so much as a nod of the head, make their point of constructive criticism and continue on in calm forbearance. Euphemisms are unpleasant truths wearing diplomatic cologne.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
