“Life's disappointments are harder to take when you don't know any swear words.”
Calvin & Hobbes
“When my love swears that she is made of truth, I do believe her, though know she lies”
William Shakespeare
“The idea that no gentleman ever swears is all wrong. He can swear and still be a gentleman if he does it in a nice and benevolent and affectionate way.”
Mark Twain
“They swear by Allah that they did not speak, and certainly they did speak, the word of unbelief, and disbelieved after their Islam, and they had determined upon what they have not been able to effect, and they did not find fault except because Allah and His Apostle enriched them out of His grace; therefore if they repent, it will be good for them; and if they turn back, Allah will chastise them with a painful chastisement in this world and the hereafter, and they shall not have in the land any guardian or a helper.”
quran
“They, that unnamed "they," they've knocked me down but I got up. I always get up-and I swear when I went down quite often I took the fall; nothing moves a mountain but itself. They, I've long ago named them me.”
Gregory Corso
“A swear-word in a rustic slum / A simple swear-word is to some, / To Masefield something more.”
Max Beerbohm
“You read back through these old records when people were kicked out of the church for swearing,”
David Hess
