Gordon Childe

Famous quotes containing the words gordon and/or childe:

    Lovers may be—and indeed generally are—enemies, but they never can be friends, because there must always be a spice of jealousy and a something of Self in all their speculations.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    With my desire to write he seemed in full sympathy, and in urging our early marriage he argued that my first necessity was leisure in which to develop and to master my craft. It appeared to me that with such a man as teacher and guide I could not fail, and it was in a queer mixture of young love and vaulting ambition that I became a wife.
    —Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)
