“In the matter of ideas the public prefer the cheap and nasty”
Charles Sanders Peirce
“A poet who reads his own verse in public may have other nasty habits.”
Robert Heinlein
“Man is the only creature who has a nasty mind.”
Mark Twain
“Let's not be narrow, nasty, and negative.”
T.S. Eliot
“Of all the nasty outcomes predicted for women's liberation... none was more alarming, from a feminist point of view, than the suggestion that women would eventually become just like men.”
Barbara Ehrenreich
“Estate agents. You can't live with them, you can't live with them. The first sign of these nasty purulent sores appeared round about 1894. With their jangling keys, nasty suits, revolting beards, moustaches and tinted spectacles, estate agents roam the land causing perturbation and despair. If you try and kill them, you're put in prison: if you try and talk to them, you vomit. There's only one thing worse than an estate agent but at least that can be safely lanced, drained and surgically dressed. Estate agents. Love them or loathe them, you'd be mad not to loathe them.”
Stephen Fry
“like cheap whisky ... very nasty and extremely satisfying.”
Stephen King
