Famous quotes containing the words late and/or life:
“But this was the old tree’s late branch wrenched away,
Grieving the sapless limbs, the shorn and shaken.”
—John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
“Like plowing, housework makes the ground ready for the germination of family life. The kids will not invite a teacher home if beer cans litter the living room. The family isn’t likely to have breakfast together if somebody didn’t remember to buy eggs, milk, or muffins. Housework maintains an orderly setting in which family life can flourish.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
