Famous quotes containing the words piece and/or bags:
“I recommend to you, in my last, an innocent piece of art: that of flattering people behind their backs, in presence of those who, to make their own court, much more than for your sake, will not fail to repeat, and even amplify, the praise to the party concerned.

—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Some dead undid their bushy jaws,
And bags of blood let out their flies;

—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
