Famous quotes containing the words anna and/or carroll:
“Monday’s child is fair in face,
Tuesday’s child is full of grace,
Wednesday’s child is full of woe,
Thursday’s child has far to go,
Friday’s child is loving and giving,
Saturday’s child works hard for its living;
And a child that is born on a Christmas day,
Is fair and wise, good and gay.”
—Anonymous. Quoted in Traditions, Legends, Superstitions, and Sketches of Devonshire, vol. 2, ed. Anna E.K.S. Bray (1838)
“As one who strives a hill to climb,
Who never climbed before:
Who finds it in a little time,
Grow every moment less sublime,
And votes the thing a bore:”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
