Famous quotes containing the words edward and/or egan:

    I’ve learned one thing about life. We’re a good deal like that ball, dancing on the fountain. We know as little about the forces that move us, and move the world around us, as that empty ball does.
    Ardel Wray, Edward Dien, and Jacques Tourneur. Dr. Galbraith(James Bell)

    The first ones ever, oh, ever to know
    of the rising of Jesus, his glory to be,
    were Mary, Joanna, and Magdalene,
    and blessed are they are they who see.
    —Linda Wilberger Egan (b. 1946)
