Famous quotes containing the word couple:

    ... you can have a couple of seconds to rest in. I mean seconds. You have about two seconds to wait while the blanker is on the felt drawing the moisture out. You can stand and relax those two seconds—three seconds at most. You wish you didn’t have to work in a factory. When it’s all you know what to do, that’s what you do.
    Grace Clements, U.S. factory worker. As quoted in Working, book 5, by Studs Terkel (1973)

    After the first couple of months, she and Charlie didn’t see much of each other except at breakfast. It was a marriage just like any other marriage.
    Orson Welles (1915–1985)

    One is no number, mayds are nothing then,
    Without the sweet societie of men.
    Wilt thou live single still? one shalt thou bee,
    Though never-singling Hymen couple thee.
    Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
