Famous quotes containing the word girl:

    Tallulah [Bankhead] was the foremost naughty girl of her era but, in those days, “naughty” meant piquant, whereas values have so changed that now, in the 1970s, it generally means nauseating.
    Anita Loos (1888–1981)

    A girl could only see
    That a flower had marred a man,
    But what she could not see
    Was that the flower might be
    Other than base and fetid:
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    You’re his girl and he’s your feller
    And all the rest is “talk.”
    Oscar Hammerstein II (1895–1960)
