Suitable Girl

Famous quotes containing the words suitable and/or girl:

    Not one of our mortal gauges is suitable for evaluating non-existence, for making judgments about that which is not a person.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    Before I knew that I was Jewish or a girl I knew that I was a member of the working class. At a time when I had not yet grasped the significance of the fact that in my house English was a second language, or that I wore dresses while my brother wore pants, I knew—and I knew it was important to know—that Papa worked hard all day long.
    Vivian Gornick (b. 1935)
