Famous quotes containing the words white and/or carpet:
“Less smooth than her Skin and less white than her breast
Was this pollisht stone beneath which she lyes prest
Stop, Reader, and Sigh while thou thinkst on the rest
With a just trim of Virtue her Soul was endu’d
Not affectedly Pious nor secretly lewd,
She cut even between the Cocquet and the Prude.”
—Matthew Prior (1664–1721)
“There are lots of things that you can brush under the carpet about yourself until you’re faced with somebody whose needs won’t be put off.”
