Famous quotes containing the words women, wore and/or long:

    It is certainly not new or startling to find that women feel the desire to take care of their children. What is new is the number of women who are startled by such feelings.

    He wore like a jewel a lemon-hued lynx
    With sand-waves loving her brow.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Opinion is not worth a rush;
    In this altar-piece the knight,
    Who grips his long spear so to push
    That dragon through the fading light,
    Loved the lady; and it’s plain
    The half-dead dragon was her thought....
