Early Rare

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or rare:

    In the early forties and fifties almost everybody “had about enough to live on,” and young ladies dressed well on a hundred dollars a year. The daughters of the richest man in Boston were dressed with scrupulous plainness, and the wife and mother owned one brocade, which did service for several years. Display was considered vulgar. Now, alas! only Queen Victoria dares to go shabby.
    M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

    One can find women who have never had one love affair, but it is rare indeed to find any who have had only one.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
