Famous quotes containing the words pretty and/or cure:
“That poor little thing was a good woman, Judge. But she just sort of let life get the upper hand. She was born here and she wanted to be buried here. I promised her on her deathbed she’d have a funeral in a church with flowers. And the sun streamin’ through a pretty window on her coffin. And a hearse with plumes and some hacks. And a preacher to read the Bible. And folks there in church to pray for her soul.”
—Laurence Stallings (1804–1968)
“Communism is the opiate of the intellectuals [with] no cure except as a guillotine might be called a cure for dandruff.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
