Dampness Quotes

“I guess the difference is that dampness comes down but dankness rises up out of rot and fermentation.”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“Otto: A bonny country, Scotland, if all I've heard is
correct, what with the banshees wailing and the four-
leaved shamrock.

Gilda: That's Ireland, dear.

Otto: Never mind. The same wistful dampness distinguishes them both.”
― Noël Coward, Design for Living
