Famous quotes containing the words purple, heart and/or memorial:
“Yet marked I where the bolt of Cupid fell:
It fell upon a little western flower,
Before, milk-white; now purple with love’s wound:
And maidens call it “love-in-idleness.””
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“He teaches me to set my heart on nothing. He detaches my mind from friends and relations; and I could watch on as brother, children, mother, and wife all died, and not care in the least.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
“I hope there will be no effort to put up a shaft or any monument of that sort in memory of me or of the other women who have given themselves to our work. The best kind of a memorial would be a school where girls could be taught everything useful that would help them to earn an honorable livelihood; where they could learn to do anything they were capable of, just as boys can. I would like to have lived to see such a school as that in every great city of the United States.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
