Famous quotes containing the words fighting, home and/or courts:

    I’m not fighting any causes. I’m black, everybody can see that, but I am a storyteller for the masses.
    Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)

    A man would prefer to come home to an unmade bed and a happy woman than to a neatly made bed and an angry woman.
    Marlene Dietrich (1904–1992)

    But O, young beauty of the woods,
    Whom Nature courts with fruits and flowers,
    Gather the flowers, but spare the buds;
    Lest Flora, angry at thy crime
    To kill her infants in their prime,
    Do quickly make the example yours;
    And ere we see,
    Nip in the blossom all our hopes and thee.
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
