Divine Girl

Famous quotes containing the words divine and/or girl:

“Time, which shows so vacant, indivisible, and divine in its coming, is slit and peddled into trifles and tatters. A door is to be painted, a lock to be repaired. I want wood, or oil, or meal, or salt; the house smokes, or I have a headache; then the tax; and an affair to be transacted with a man without heart or brains; and the stinging recollection of an injurious or very awkward word,—these eat up the hours.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“It’s my old girl that advises. She has the head. But I never own to it before her. Discipline must be maintained.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
