Famous quotes containing the words boston and/or evening:
“In the early forties and fifties almost everybody “had about enough to live on,” and young ladies dressed well on a hundred dollars a year. The daughters of the richest man in Boston were dressed with scrupulous plainness, and the wife and mother owned one brocade, which did service for several years. Display was considered vulgar. Now, alas! only Queen Victoria dares to go shabby.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“This is the TV parlor
in the best ward at Bedlam.
The night nurse is passing
out the evening pills.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
