Famous quotes containing the word girl:

    His raising her up made her feel
    like a little girl again when she had a father
    who brushed the dirt from her eye.
    Indeed, she took hold of herself,
    knowing she owed Jesus a life,
    as sure-fire as a trump card.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “I am as brown as brown can be,
    And my eyes as black as sloe;
    I am as brisk as brisk can be,
    And wild as forest doe.
    —Unknown. The Brown Girl (l. 1–4)

    What girl could fail to make a conquest who collapsed at a man’s feet in the moonlight?
    John L. Balderston (1899–1954)
