Wanted

Famous quotes containing the word wanted:

    I had no place in any coterie, or in any reciprocal self-advertising. I stood alone. I stood outside. I wanted only to learn. I wanted only to write better.
    Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)

    ... when you do get a job everybody says, “Well, they wanted a black woman,” which necessarily puts you on a level where you have to prove yourself above being a woman and being black.... Now, I would say, in certain situations, it helped me simply because I was mildly attractive, not because I was black or a woman. That gets you more mileage than anything else.... God help you if you’re not an attractive woman.
    Theresa Brown (b. 1957)

    I have always wanted a mistress who was fat, and I have never found one. To make a fool of me, they are always pregnant.
    Paul Gauguin (1848–1903)
