Famous quotes containing the word stay:

    A tree swayed overwater.

    O where are you going? stay with me here.
    Were the vows you swore me deceiving, deceiving?
    No, I promised to love you, my dear,
    But I must be leaving.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    I’m real ambivalent about [working mothers]. Those of use who have been in the women’s movement for a long time know that we’ve talked a good game of “go out and fulfill your dreams” and “be everything you were meant to be.” But by the same token, we want daughters-in-law who are going to stay home and raise our grandchildren.
    Erma Bombeck (20th century)
