Famous quotes containing the words orange and/or mystery:

    there’s nothing compared with the ould Orange flute.
    —Unknown. The Old Orange Flute (l. 8)

    Crime seems to change character when it crosses a bridge or a tunnel. In the city, crime is taken as emblematic of class and race. In the suburbs, though, it’s intimate and psychological—resistant to generalization, a mystery of the individual soul.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
