Famous quotes containing the word burns:
“I change, and so do women too;
But I reflectwhich women seldom do.
Tobacco is a filthy weed,
That from the devil doth proceed;
That drains your purse, that burns your clothes,
That makes a chimney of your nose.”
—Anonymous. Written on a Looking Glass, from Geoffrey Grigsons Faber Book of Epigrams and Epitaphs, Faber & Faber (1977)
