Bill

Famous quotes containing the word bill:

    It is my belief that there are “absolutes” in our Bill of Rights, and that they were put there on purpose by men who knew what words meant, and meant their prohibitions to be “absolute.”
    Hugo Black (b. 1922)

    The first year was critical to my assessment of myself as a person. It forced me to realize that, like being married, having children is not an end in itself. You don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.
    —Anonymous Mother. From the Boston Women’s Health Book Collection. Quoted in The Joys of Having a Child, by Bill and Gloria Adler (1993)

    No, the five hundred was the sum they named
    To pay the doctor’s bill and tide me over.
    It’s that or fight, and I don’t want to fight
    I just want to get settled in my life....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
