Famous quotes containing the words bid and/or contract:
“O tiger’s heart wrapped in a woman’s hide!
How couldst thou drain the lifeblood of the child,
To bid the father wipe his eyes withal,
And yet be seen to bear a woman’s face?
Women are soft, mild, pitiful, and flexible;
Thou stern, obdurate, flinty, rough, remorseless.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Any intelligent woman who reads the marriage contract and then goes into it, deserves all the consequences.”
—Isadora Duncan (1878–1927)
