Famous quotes containing the words major, match and/or results:

    “Let’s just call what happened in the eighties the reclamation of motherhood . . . by women I knew and loved, hard-driving women with major careers who were after not just babies per se or motherhood per se, but after a reconciliation with their memories of their own mothers. So having a baby wasn’t just having a baby. It became a major healing.”
    —Anne Taylor Fleming (20th century)

    “You look rather rash my dear your colors don’t quite match your face.”
    —Daisy Ashford (1881–1972)

    “Pain itself can be pleasurable accidentally in so far as it is accompanied by wonder, as in stage-plays; or in so far as it recalls a beloved object to one’s memory, and makes one feel one’s love for the thing, whose absence gives us pain. Consequently, since love is pleasant, both pain and whatever else results from love, in so far as they remind us of our love, are pleasant.”
    —Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)
