Dirty

Famous quotes containing the word dirty:

“This might be the end of the world. If Joe lost we were back in slavery and beyond help. It would all be true, the accusations that we were lower types of human beings. Only a little higher than apes. True that we were stupid and ugly and lazy and dirty and, unlucky and worst of all, that God Himself hated us and ordained us to be hewers of wood and drawers of water, forever and ever, world without end.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)

“Last night you lay a-sleeping? No!
The room was thirty-five below;
The sheets and blankets turned to snow.
MHe’d got in: Dirty Dinky.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

“... censorship often boils down to some male judges getting to read a lot of dirty books—with one hand.”
—Robin Morgan (b. 1941)
