Famous quotes containing the words common and/or agents:

    “You common cry of curs, whose breath I hate
    As reek a’th’rotten fens, whose loves I prize
    As the dead carcasses of unburied men
    That do corrupt my air—I banish you!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Luckless is the country in which the symbols of procreation are the objects of shame, while the agents of destruction are honored! And yet you call that member your pudendum, or shameful part, as if there were anything more glorious than creating life, or anything more atrocious than taking it away.”
    —Savinien Cyrano De Bergerac (1619–1655)
