Famous quotes containing the word finally:
“Clearly, some time ago makers and consumers of American junk food passed jointly through some kind of sensibility barrier in the endless quest for new taste sensations. Now they are a little like those desperate junkies who have tried every known drug and are finally reduced to mainlining toilet bowl cleanser in an effort to get still higher.”
—Bill Bryson (b. 1951)
“So you finally got wise to yourself, did you? Funny thing about you women. Most of you dont get wise soon enough. You wait until youre so old nobody want you.... Youre not so hard to look at. Give yourself a tumble, youll make the grade.”
—Willis Goldbeck (19001979)
“Lonesome? God, no! From the day the kids are born, if its not one thing, its another. After all those years of being responsible for them, you finally get to the point where you want to scream: Fall out of the nest already, you guys, will you? Its time.”
—Anonymous Mother of Four. As quoted in Women of a Certain Age, by Lillian B. Rubin, ch. 2 (1979)
