Famous quotes containing the words daniel t, daniel and/or griffin:

    He’d strangle on his own spit if he didn’t have me around here to swab his throat out for him.
    Daniel Taradash (b. 1913)

    No April can revive thy withered flowers,
    Whose blooming grace adorns thy glory now;
    Swift speeding Time, feathered with flying hours,
    Dissolves the beauty of the fairest brow.
    Oh let not then such riches waste in vain,
    But love whilst that thou mayst be loved again.
    —Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)

    ...I want men
    to take us seriously.
    I am tired wanting them to think
    about right and wrong.
    I want them to fear.
    —Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
