Wanted

Famous quotes containing the word wanted:

    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 we’ll just seem like a bunch of lunatics.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a “miracle,”
    Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
    But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
    And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    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)
