Famous quotes containing the words big and/or stink:

    The hero was distinguished by his achievement; the celebrity by his image or trademark. The hero created himself; the celebrity is created by the media. The hero was a big man; the celebrity is a big name.
    Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    If you cut a thing up, of course it will smell. Hence, nothing raises such an infernal stink at last, as human psychology.
