Famous quotes containing the words dowry and/or killings:
“As groceries in a pantry gleam and smile
Because they are important weights
Bought with the metal minutes of your pay,
So do these hours stand in solid rows,
The dowry for a use in common life.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

Whats the matter? Why dont you put a stop to it?
I try, he saidThats all he could do, he looked tired. Hes a bachelor so long, and he likes lentil soup.”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
