Wanted

Famous quotes containing the word wanted:

    That poor little thing was a good woman, Judge. But she just sort of let life get the upper hand. She was born here and she wanted to be buried here. I promised her on her deathbed she’d have a funeral in a church with flowers. And the sun streamin’ through a pretty window on her coffin. And a hearse with plumes and some hacks. And a preacher to read the Bible. And folks there in church to pray for her soul.
    Laurence Stallings (1804–1968)

    Thief!
    how did you crawl into,
    crawl down alone
    into the death I wanted so badly and for so long,
    the death we said we both outgrew....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I wanted to learn to fly, not because it was the smart thing to do in the 1920s, but because I was afraid of anything that flew.... I reasoned that if I learned to fly, I might conquer my fear of it. The remedy worked.
    Joy Bright Hancock (1898–1986)
