Famous quotes containing the word bills:
“Our checks are pale. Our wallets are invalids.
Past due, past due, is what our bills are saying
and yet we kiss in every corner, scuffing the dust

“It is only by not paying one’s bills that one can hope to live in the memory of the commercial classes.”

Irregular verbs to learn, the Time Being to redeem
From insignificance.”
