Famous quotes containing the words basket and/or women:
“Put all your eggs in the one basket and—WATCH THAT BASKET.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Swann was one of those men who, having long lived in the illusions of love, saw the well-being that they gave to many women heighten their happiness without evoking in these women any gratitude, any tenderness toward them; but in their child these men believe they feel an affection which, embodied in their very name, will make them outlast their death. When there was to no longer be a Charles Swann, there would still be a Mademoiselle Swann ... who would continue to love her departed father.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
