Famous quotes containing the words fight and/or lasted:
“You thought you could be Mrs. de Winter. Live in her house. Walk in her steps. Take the things that were hers. But she’s too strong for you. You can’t fight her. No one ever got the better of her. Never. Never. She was beaten in the end. But it wasn’t a man. It wasn’t a woman. It was the sea!”
—Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)
“I had some short struggle in my mind whether I should resign my lover or my liberty, but this lasted not long. I found myself as free as air and could not bear the thought of putting myself in any man’s power for life only from a present capricious inclination.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
