Store

Famous quotes containing the word store:

    “Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.”
    —Barbara Howar (b. 1934)

    “I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph.”
    —Shirley Temple Black (b. 1928)

    “When I came of age I did not know much. Still somehow, I could read, write, and cipher to the Rule of Three.... The little advance I now have upon this store of education, I have picked up from time to time under the pressure of necessity.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
