Dirty Quotes

Lines that admit the messier, less polished truth.

"Dirty" here mostly means honest rather than clean: a wry joke about disgusting hands, a candid admission that ordinary fund investors often significantly underperform the funds they're actually invested in, and a young writer's ambition to produce a great, unvarnished American novel. For more sharp-edged wit, see Dirt.
