Burnett Family

Famous quotes containing the words burnett and/or family:

    I have grown so tired of Woman with a capital W, though I suppose it is rankest heresy to say so. I don’t want to be Woman at all—I have begun to feel that I want to be something like this—WO—A–.
    —Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849–1924)

    I can only sign over everything,
    the house, the dog, the ladders, the jewels,
    the soul, the family tree, the mailbox.
    Then I can sleep.
    Maybe.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
