Famous quotes containing the word may:

    “Social distinctions concern themselves ultimately with whom you may and may not marry.”
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)

    “The heavy burden of the growing soul
    Perplexes and offends more, day by day;
    Week by week, offends and perplexes more
    With the imperatives of “is and seems”
    And may and may not, desire and control.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
