Famous quotes related to the name:

    You remind me of a child-friend who once wrote to tell me about her sister being married. ‘Now I will tell you all about Bessie’s wedding.’ Then came a long account of bridesmaids, and breakfast, and everything else, except the name of the bride-groom! That of course didn’t matter: the great thing was to get married somehow.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
