Insidious

Famous quotes containing the word insidious:

“Washington has seldom seen so numerous, so industrious or so insidious a lobby. There is every evidence that money without limit is being spent to sustain this lobby....

—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

“North and West have always vied for power and territory, but their recent competition as to which one is more insidious of the two has been more peaceful.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

“restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
