Famous quotes containing the word dresses:
“One who dresses in rags that have been washed clean dresses cleanly to be sure, but raggedly nonetheless.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

—Edna Woolman Chase (1877–1957)
“For every nineteenth-century middle-class family that protected its wife and child within the family circle, there was an Irish or a German girl scrubbing floors in that home, a Welsh boy mining coal to keep the home-baked goodies warm, a black girl doing the family laundry, a black mother and child picking cotton to be made into clothes for the family, and a Jewish or an Italian daughter in a sweatshop making “ladies” dresses or artificial flowers for the family to purchase.”
—Stephanie Coontz (20th century)
