Wanted

Famous quotes containing the word wanted:

    The sister’s face
    Fell all in wrinkles of responsibility.
    She wanted to do right. She’d have to think.

    All I ever wanted was to sing to God. He gave me that longing and then made me mute.
    Peter Shaffer (b. 1926)

    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)
