Famous quotes containing the words marshall pugh, marshall and/or pugh:

    Dancing with abandon, turning a tango into a fertility rite.
    Marshall Pugh (b. 1925)

    Work is a responsibility most adults assume, a burden at times, a complication, but also a challenge that, like children, requires enormous energy and that holds the potential for qualitative, as well as quantitative, rewards. Isn’t this the only constructive perspective for women who have no choice but to work? And isn’t it a more healthy attitude for women writhing with guilt because they choose to compound the challenges of motherhood with work they enjoy?
    —Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

    [They] exchanged the quick, brilliant smile of women who dislike each other on sight.
    —Marshall Pugh (b. 1925)
