Famous quotes containing the words marian, edelman and/or borden:
“The master, the swabber, the boatswain and I,
The gunner and his mate,
Loved Mall, Meg, and Marian and Margery,
But none of us cared for Kate;
For she had a tongue with a tang,
Would cry to a sailor, ‘Go hang!’
She loved not the savour of tar nor of pitch,
Yet a tailor might scratch her where’er she did itch:
Then to sea, boys, and let her go hang.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“You didn’t have a choice about the parents you inherited, but you do have a choice about the kind of parent you will be.”
—Marian Wright Edelman (20th century)
“I’m a good woman for a bad man.”
—Alexander Hall. Cleo Borden (Mae West)
