Rooney Married

Famous quotes containing the words rooney and/or married:

    Then down, deep down, in the mighty ship, unseen by the midday
    suns,
    You’ll find the chaps who are giving the raps—the men behind the guns!
    —John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)

    Actually being married seemed so crowded with unspoken rules and odd secrets and unfathomable responsibilities that it had no more occurred to her to imagine being married herself than it had to imagine driving a motorcycle or having a job. She had, however, thought about being a bride, which had more to do with being the center of attention and looking inexplicably, temporarily beautiful than it did with sharing a double bed with someone with hairy legs and a drawer full of boxer shorts.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
