Fleming Gave

Famous quotes containing the words fleming and/or gave:

    You watched and you saw what happened and in the accumulation of episodes you saw the pattern: Daddy ruled the roost, called the shots, made the money, made the decisions, so you signed up on his side, and fifteen years later when the women’s movement came along with its incendiary manifestos telling you to avoid marriage and motherhood, it was as if somebody put a match to a pile of dry kindling.
    —Anne Taylor Fleming (20th century)

    You had to face your ends when young
    ‘Twas wine or women, or some curse
    But never made a poorer song
    That you might have a heavier purse,
    Nor gave loud service to a cause
    That you might have a troop of friends.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
