Famous quotes containing the words club and/or records:
“I spoke at a womans club in Philadelphia yesterday and a young lady said to me afterwards, Well, that sounds very nice, but dont you think it is better to be the power behind the throne? I answered that I had not had much experience with thrones, but a woman who has been on a throne, and who is now behind it, seems to prefer to be on the throne.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (18471919)
“Although crowds gathered once if she but showed her face,
And even old mens eyes grew dim, this hand alone,
Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping-place
Babbling of fallen majesty, records whats gone.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
