Famous quotes containing the words flourishing and/or conclusion:
“It will always be found that one flourishing institution exists and battens on another mouldering one. The Present itself is parasitic to this extent.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don’t are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn’t put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a lesbian.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)
