Spit

Famous quotes containing the word spit:

    Signor Antonio, many a time and oft
    In the Rialto you have rated me
    About my moneys and my usances.
    Still have I borne it with a patient shrug,
    For sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.
    You call me misbeliever, cutthroat dog,
    And spit upon my Jewish gaberdine,
    And all for use of that which is mine own.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Oh, put away your good words
    and your bad words. Spit out
    your words like stones!
    Come here! Come here!
    Come eat my pleasant fruits.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    There was an old man from Darjeeling
    Who got on a bus bound for Ealing.
    It said at the door,
    “Please don’t spit on the floor,”
    So he carefully spat on the ceiling.
