Famous quotes containing the words bible and/or usage:

    “O Bible chopped and crucified
    in hymns we hear but do not read,”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    “Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don’t are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn’t put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a lesbian.”
    —Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)
