Famous quotes containing the words shared and/or services:

    The cot we shared is almost a prison
    where I can’t say buttercup, bobolink,
    sugarduck, pumpkin, love ribbon, locket,
    valentine, summergirl, funnygirl and all
    those nonsense things one says in bed.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I see this evident, that we willingly accord to piety only the services that flatter our passions.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
