Famous quotes containing the words brown and/or rot:
“... a friend told me that she had read of a woman who had knitted a wash rag for President Wilson. She was eighty years old and her friends thought it remarkable that she could knit a wash rag! I thought that if a woman of eighty could knit a wash rage for a Democratic President it behooved one of ninety-six to make something more than a wash rag for a Republican President.”
—Maria D. Brown (1827–1927)
“Simone Clouseau: We can’t just let him rot in prison.
Sir Charles: Oh, it takes years for people to rot.”
