Famous quotes containing the words dirty and/or bit:

    “I know we’re not saints or virgins or lunatics; we know all the lust and lavatory jokes, and most of the dirty people; we can catch buses and count our change and cross the roads and talk real sentences. But our innocence goes awfully deep, and our discreditable secret is that we don’t know anything at all, and our horrid inner secret is that we don’t care that we don’t.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “A Bird came down the Walk—
    He did not know I saw—
    He bit an Angleworm in halves”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
