Famous quotes containing the words devil, blue and/or dress:

    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “... Can poet’s thought
    That springs from body and in body falls
    Like this pure jet, now lost amid blue sky,
    Now bathing lily leaf and fish’s scale,
    Be mimicry?”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Jerry: That’s quite a dress you almost have on.

    Milo: Modesty.
    Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)
