Grown

Famous quotes containing the word grown:

“A grown man needs a wife; a grown woman, a husband.”
—Chinese proverb.

““When I used to read fairy tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one! There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought! And when I grow up, I’ll write one—but I’m grown up now,” she added in a sorrowful tone: “At least there’s no room to grow up any more here.””
