Greedy

Famous quotes containing the word greedy:

    Don’t make your enemies happy.
    Make up with your lover,

    in your good graces.
    Daughter,
    because you’ve taken anger to extremes,
    you won’t amount
    to a hill of beans.

    There is no dream of love, however ideal it may be, which does not end up with a fat, greedy baby hanging from the breast.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    The modern picture of The Artist began to form: The poor, but free spirit, plebeian but aspiring only to be classless, to cut himself forever free from the bonds of the greedy bourgeoisie, to be whatever the fat burghers feared most, to cross the line wherever they drew it, to look at the world in a way they couldn’t see, to be high, live low, stay young forever—in short, to be the bohemian.
    Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)
