Famous quotes containing the word mouth:

    “A mouth that has no moisture and no breath
    Breathless mouths may summon;

    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The act of putting into your mouth what the earth has grown is perhaps your most direct interaction with the earth.”
    —Frances Moore Lappé (b. 1944)

    “It is not that the Englishman can’t feel—it is that he is afraid to feel. He has been taught at his public school that feeling is bad form. He must not express great joy or sorrow, or even open his mouth too wide when he talks—his pipe might fall out if he did.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
