Shoulder Board Rank

Famous quotes containing the words shoulder, board and/or rank:

    “Why am I so determined to put the shoulder where it belongs? Women have very round shoulders that push forward slightly; this touches me and I say: “One must not hide that!” Then someone tells you: “The shoulder is on the back.” I’ve never seen women with shoulders on their backs.”
    —Coco Chanel (1883–1971)

    “She hears me strike the board and say
    That she is under ban
    Of all good men and women,
    Being mentioned with a man
    That has the worst of all bad names.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “... his rank penetrated them as though it had been an odour.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
