Presentation transcript:

Creative Quotations from Ogden Nash (1902-1971) born on Aug 19 US poet; He was noted for off-beat poems like Candy is Dandy, But Liquor Is Quicker.

Oh, what a tangled web do parents weave When they think that their children are naïve..

Some tortures are physical and some are mental, But the one that's both is dental.

Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, And that's what parents were created for.

I would live all my life in nonchalance and insouciance Were it not for making a living, which is rather a nouciance.

Purity is obscurity.
