Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or daughter:
“I pity the men whose natural pleasures are burthens, and who fly from joy ... as if it was really an evil in itself....

—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“I may neither choose who I would, nor refuse who I dislike; so is the will of a living daughter curbed by the will of a dead father.”
