Prefer Green

Famous quotes containing the words prefer and/or green:

“I should prefer a Woman that is agreeable in my own Eye, and not deformed in that of the World, to a celebrated Beauty.

“Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means,
Time held me green and dying
Though I sang in my chains like the sea.”
