Famous quotes containing the word wanted:
“Now, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to Facts, sir!”
—Charles Dickens (18121870)
“When youre crowned Miss America, they put you up on a pedestal. People really look up to you and they think youre perfect. They think that you have everything that youve ever wanted or dreamed about in life.”
—Kaye Lani Rae Rafko (b. c. 1968)
“I who was a house full of bowel movement,
I who was a defaced altar,
I who wanted to crawl toward God
could not move nor eat bread.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
