Black Stuff Gown

Famous quotes containing the words black, stuff and/or gown:

    I’m a prodigal son. The black sheep of a white flock. I shall die on the gallows.
    William A. Drake (1900–1965)

    “The proper stuff of fiction” does not exist; everything is the proper stuff of fiction, every feeling, every thought; every quality of brain and spirit is drawn upon; no perception comes amiss.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    We are the creatures of imagination, passion, and self- will, more than of reason or even of self-interest.... Even in the common transactions and daily intercourse of life, we are governed by whim, caprice, prejudice, or accident. The falling of a teacup puts us out of temper for the day; and a quarrel that commenced about the pattern of a gown may end only with our lives.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
