Famous quotes containing the words painted and/or wood:
“The sleeping and the dead
Are but as pictures; ‘tis the eye of childhood
That fears a painted devil.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“It would be as wise to set up an accomplished lawyer to saw wood as a business as to condemn an educated and sensible woman to spend all her time boiling potatoes and patching old garments. Yet this is the lot of many a one who incessantly stitches and boils and bakes, compelled to thrust back out of sight the aspirations which fill her soul.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
