Famous quotes containing the words white and/or devil:

    “Lately
    I’ve been looking at old-fashioned plaids, fingering
    Starched white collars, wondering whether there’s a way
    To get them really white again. My wife
    Thinks I’m in Oslo—Oslo, France, that is.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    ““And get a comfortable wife and house
    To rid me of the devil in my shoes,”
    Beggar to beggar cried, being frenzy-struck,
    “And the worse devil that is between my thighs.””
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
