Famous quotes containing the words key to, key and/or forms:

    I cannot tell what I am as much afraid of, as a woman who invariably washes on Monday. It is a kind of key to character; and if her mouth is not puckered and her brow wrinkled, they will be, unless she repents.
    Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)

    ‘The key is in the window, the key is in the sunlight at the
    window—I have the key—Get married Allen don’t take drugs—the key is in the bars, in the sunlight in the window.
    Love,
    your mother’
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    The failure of women to produce genius of the first rank in most of the supreme forms of human effort has been used to block the way of all women of talent and ambition for intellectual achievement.
    Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
