Famous quotes containing the words sue and/or townsend:

    Apart, we think we wish ourselves together,
    Yet sue for solitude upon our meetings....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    There are some women ... in whom conscience is so strongly developed that it leaves little room for anything else. Love is scarcely felt before duty rushes to encase it, anger impossible because one must always be calm and see both sides, pity evaporates in expedients, even grief is felt as a sort of bruised sense of injury, a resentment that one should have grief forced upon one when one has always acted for the best.
    —Sylvia Townsend Warner (1893–1978)
