Hydrogen selenide, I decided, was perhaps the worst smell in the world. But hydrogen telluride came close, was also a smell from hell. An up-to-date hell, I decided, would have not just rivers of fiery brimstone, but lakes of boiling selenium and tellurium, too.
Oliver Sacks
“When one tears away the veils and shows them naked, people’s souls give off such a pungent smell of decay.” (Diary ot a Chambermaid)
Octave Mirbeau
"The air was exceptionally thick with the smell of pungent smoke from smoldering rubble."
Gregory Barbaccia
When I remember my family, I always remember their backs. They were always indignantly leaving places. That’s the way I remember them, heading for an exit.
John Cheever
Whoever killed a person having a treaty with the Muslims, shall not smell the smell of Paradise though its smell is perceived from a distance of forty years.
Holy Prophet Muhammad
