Feminine Endings

Famous quotes containing the words feminine and/or endings:

“It is not a piece of fine feminine Spitalfields silk—but is of the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships’ cables & hausers. A Polar wind blows through it, & birds of prey hover over it. Warn all gentle fastidious people from so much as peeping into the book—on risk of a lumbago & sciatics.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“Life is not so much about beginnings and endings as it is about going on and on and on. It is about muddling through the middle.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
