Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or card:

    “When among wild beasts, if they menace you, be a wild beast.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “Mothers are not the nameless, faceless stereotypes who appear once a year on a greeting card with their virtues set to prose, but women who have been dealt a hand for life and play each card one at a time the best way they know how. No mother is all good or all bad, all laughing or all serious, all loving or all angry. Ambivalence rushes through their veins.”
    —Erma Bombeck (20th century)
