Famous quotes containing the words typical and/or dishes:
“It is not however, adulthood itself, but parenthood that forms the glass shroud of memory. For there is an interesting quirk in the memory of women. At 30, women see their adolescence quite clearly. At 30 a woman’s adolescence remains a facet fitting into her current self.... At 40, however, memories of adolescence are blurred. Women of this age look much more to their earlier childhood for memories of themselves and of their mothers. This links up to her typical parenting phase.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“Before she has her floor swept
Or her dishes done.
Any day you’ll find her
A-sunning in the sun!”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
