Ladies

Famous quotes containing the word ladies:

    It is very fashionable for good-looking ladies to say how hard it is to be beautiful, but that’s not true. There are times when it depresses and bothers me to see just how easy things are made for a beautiful woman.
    Catherine Deneuve (b. 1943)

    [The ladies] must be aware that a great evil cannot for a long time, predominate, without, at least, their connivance. Silence is often as effectual an advocate in a cause as eloquence.
    —“Censor,” U.S. women’s magazine contributor. American Ladies Magazine, pp. 337-340 (August, 1828)

    Almost yesterday, those gentle ladies stole
    to their baths in Atlantic City, for the lost
    rites of the first sea of the first salt
    running from a faucet.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
