Famous quotes containing the words derek and/or taylor:

    You must understand. Death must come to all. Sooner to some, later to others.
    —Tom Graeff. Derek (David Love)

    It was palpable, all that wanting: Mother wanting something more, Dad wanting something more, everyone wanting something more. This wasn’t going to do for us fifties girls; we were going to have to change the equation even if it meant . . . abstaining from motherhood, because clearly that was where Mother got caught.
    —Anne Taylor Fleming (20th century)
