Grand Haven

Famous quotes containing the words grand and/or haven:

    “You have a grand gift of silence, Watson,” said he, “it makes you quite invaluable as a companion.”
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.
    Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
