Dirty Finger

Famous quotes containing the words dirty and/or finger:

“Out in Hollywood, where the streets are paved with Goldwyn, the word “sophisticate” means, very simply, “obscene.” A sophisticated story is a dirty story. Some of that meaning was wafted eastward and got itself mixed up into the present definition. So that a “sophisticate” means: one who dwells in a tower made of a DuPont substitute for ivory and holds a glass of flat champagne in one hand and an album of dirty post cards in the other.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)

“No sense bein’ in a hurry about cuttin’ a body’s finger off. Here have another.... Need another jug before cuttin’.”
—Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
