Missed Double

Famous quotes containing the words missed and/or double:

    The painters did very well by her;
    it is true, they missed never a line
    of the suave turn of the head
    or subtle shade of lowered eye-lid
    or eye-lids half-raised.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    ... the next war will be a war in which people not armies will suffer, and our boasted, hard-earned civilization will do us no good. Cannot the women rise to this great opportunity and work now, and not have the double horror, if another war comes, of losing their loved ones, and knowing that they lifted no finger when they might have worked hard?
    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
