I so hate rain.","author":"Pushpa Rana","tags":["agony","clouds","filth","hate","puddles","rain","traffic"],"id":13335,"author_id":"Pushpa+Rana"},{"text":"Once again was it proved that the designs of Providence are impenetrable and that the sinner, climbing out of the pit of his filthiness, may feel himself touched by grace.","author":"Gabriel Chevallier","tags":["filth","grace","providence","sinner"],"id":22619,"author_id":"Gabriel+Chevallier"},{"text":"Who is to blame? The filth peddler, of course, but even more than this vulgar entertainer, the filth consumer, the public. So long as men are corrupt and revel in sewer filth, entertainers will sell them what they want. Laws may be passed, arrests may be made, lawyers may argue, courts may sentence and jails may harbor men of corrupt minds, but pornography and allied insults to decency will never cease until men have cleansed their minds and cease to require and pay for such vile stuff. When the customer is sick and tired of being drowned in filth by the comedians, he will not pay for that filth and its source will dry up.","author":"Spencer W. Kimball","tags":["filth","morality","pornography"],"id":108292,"author_id":"Spencer+W.+Kimball"},{"text":"Why then should money be blamed for all the dirt and crimes it causes?

And the slight bit of sanity that yet remains within me asks, ‘what raging madness would prompt me to incessantly wallow in the very things that will eventually swallow me?","author":"Craig D.

The conditions in jail--the handcuffs, the noise, the filth, the crowding--mangled his senses. It's likely that, if one must be incarcerated in the United States, a jail in central Maine would be among the more tolerable spots, but to Knight it was torture. 'Bedlam' is how he referred to the place. It never got dark in jail; at eleven p.M., the lights merely became a little duller. 'I suspect,' he noted, 'more damage has been done to my sanity in jail, in months; than years, decades, in the woods.","author":"Michael Finkel","tags":["conditions","crowding","damage","dark","decades","duller","filth","handcuffs","incarcerated","jail","lights","maine","mangled","months","noise","place","sanity","tolerable","torture","uncertainty","united-states","wear","woods","years"],"id":299049,"author_id":"Michael+Finkel"},{"text":"Our assholes will be clean but we must never wash our hands. Our immune systems will be strengthened by our being dirty. Not filthy. Just mildly grimy. Filthy fingernails have always been a favorite fashion accessory of mine. Especially when you place your hands in the prayer positions. Matter of fact, I urge all my followers to forgo nail polish permanently and replace it with expertly applied soot. The nonexistent gods above will ignore our prayers better this way.","author":"John Waters","tags":["atheism","fashion","filth","glamour","god","gods","grime","hygiene","nails","prayer","theism"],"id":335553,"author_id":"John+Waters"},{"text":"I rushed to the bathroom for every corner of the hospital was suffocating. I got hold of acid-bottle, which was meant for toilet cleaning. As I took it into my hands, I realized I had more filth inside me than a toilet. A toilet could be cleaned by an acid bottle, or a toilet cleaner, but there was no such product that could cleanse a criminal from inside. I felt so ashamed of myself that I couldn’t even look into the eyes of my reflection in the mirror on the wall.","author":"Mehek Bassi","tags":["acid","crime","criminal","dirt","fear","filth","guilt","mistake","toilet"],"id":441197,"author_id":"Mehek+Bassi"},{"text":"The problem with holiness is that once we look into the face of it we are no longer capable of taking that which is odious and filthy and somehow pretending that it’s translucent and clean.
