Absent Quotes
ABSENT, adj. Peculiarly exposed to the tooth of detraction; vilifed; hopelessly in the wrong; superseded in the consideration and affection of another.To men a man is but a mind.

Additional Quotes
DOG, n. A kind of additional or subsidiary Deity designed to catch the overflow and surplus of the world's worship.
