Diamond Club

Famous quotes containing the words diamond and/or club:

    pulling off the fat diamond engagement ring,
    pulling off the elopement wedding ring,
    and holding them, clicking them
    in thumb and forefinger,
    the indent of twenty-five years,
    like a tiny rip leaving its mark....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I spoke at a woman’s club in Philadelphia yesterday and a young lady said to me afterwards, “Well, that sounds very nice, but don’t you think it is better to be the power behind the throne?” I answered that I had not had much experience with thrones, but a woman who has been on a throne, and who is now behind it, seems to prefer to be on the throne.
    Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
