Famous quotes containing the word wanted:
“I wanted there should be some there next year.
Of course you did. You left the rest for seed,
And for the backwoods woodchuck. Youre the girl!
A Rams Horn orchid seedpod for a woodchuck
Sounds something like. Better than farmers beans
To a discriminating appetite....”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“Maybe someday it will seem quaint that, during a time of plague, some of the parents of the 1990s wanted to deny their children protection so that they could safeguard their own self- image. Or maybe well just seem like a bunch of lunatics.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“I never wanted to live an unembellished life, and I have never done it.... Living under such a compulsion has been like painting pictures of life, and I dont take kindly to suggestions that I might have been less egotistically employed had I become a trained nurse.”
—Margaret Anderson (18861973)
