Famous quotes containing the words painted and/or frog:
“Enter Rumor, painted full of tongues.
Open your ears; for which of you will stop
The vent of hearing when loud Rumor speaks?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I feel like a white granular mass of amorphous crystals—my formula appears to be isomeric with Spasmotoxin. My aurochloride precipitates into beautiful prismatic needles. My Platinochloride develops octohedron crystals,—with a fine blue florescence. My physiological action is not indifferent. One millionth of a grain injected under the skin of a frog produced instantaneous death accompanied by an orange blossom odor.”
—Lafcadio Hearn (1850–1904)
