Famous quotes containing the word fuss:

“You know all my life I’ve hated funerals. The fuss and bother never brings anybody back. It just spoils remembering them as they really are. And when I see people actually facing it that way, I have to act like a sap.”
—Jules Furthman (1888–1960)

“What a fuss people make about fidelity! Why, even in love it is purely a question for physiology. It has nothing to do with our own will. Young men want to be faithful, and are not; old men want to be faithless, and cannot: that is all one can say.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“All this fuss about sleeping together. For physical pleasure I’d sooner go to my dentist any day.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
