Victoria Spirit

Famous quotes containing the words victoria and/or spirit:

    Sometimes my wife complains that she’s overwhelmed with work and just can’t take one of the kids, for example, to a piano lesson. I’ll offer to do it for her, and then she’ll say, “No, I’ll do it.” We have to negotiate how much I trespass into that mother role—it’s not given up easily.
    —Anonymous Father. As quoted in Women and Their Fathers, by Victoria Secunda, ch. 3 (1992)

    The spirit that I have seen
    May be the devil, and the devil hath power
    T’assume a pleasing shape.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
