Famous quotes containing the words madison and/or avenue:

    As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be formed.
    —James Madison (1751–1836)

    I hate to do what everybody else is doing. Why, only last week, on Fifth Avenue and some cross streets, I noticed that every feminine citizen of these United States wore an artificial posy on her coat or gown. I came home and ripped off every one of the really lovely refrigerator blossoms that were sewn on my own bodices.
    Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
