Famous quotes containing the words rick and/or rude:

    They don’t advertise for killers in the newspaper. That was my profession. Ex-cop. Ex- blade runner. Ex-killer.

    That loving wretch that swears
    ‘Tis not the bodies marry, but the minds,
    Which he in her angelic finds,
    Would swear as justly that he hears,
    In that day’s rude hoarse minstrelsy, the spheres.
    Hope not for mind in women; at their best
    Sweetness and wit, they’re but Mummy, possessed.
    John Donne (1572–1631)
