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)
“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)
“Judge Thomas was a man who had used the system to get where he wanted to be, but then felt that everyone else should pull themselves up by their own bootstraps.”
—Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)
