Jolly nose! there are fools who say drink hurts the sight, Such dullards know nothing about it; 'Tis better with wine to extinguish the light Than live always in darkness without it. - quoted in William Harrison Ainsworth, Jack Sheppard (vol. I, p. 213), a paraphrase of Olivier Basselin's "Vaux-de-vire" As clear and as manifest as the nose in a man's face. - Robert Burton, Anatomy of Melancholy (pt. III, sec. III, memb. 4, subsec. I) Her only flair is in her nostrils. - Pauline Kael Take that bone out of your nose and call me back. - Rush H. Limbaugh, III Give me a man with a good allowance of nose, . . . when I want any good head-work done I choose a man--provided his education has been suitable--with a long nose. - Napoleon Bonaparte (Napoleon I), related in "Notes on Noses", p. 43 (ed. 1847) A gentleman with a pug nose is a contradiction in terms. - Edgar Allan Poe Plain as a nose in a man's face. - Francois Rabelais, Works--The Author's Prologue to the First Book
