Famous Quotes & Sayings

Carol Leifer

But when I started writing, suddenly there was something that I brought to the party that was at a high-enough level.

Charles Dickens

... the woman who grows up with the idea that she is simply to be an amiable animal, to be caressed and coaxed, is invariably a bitterly disappointed woman.

Love that has a game of chess in it can checkmate any man and solve the problem of life.

Brian d'Arcy James
