Famous quotes containing the words vanessa and/or paradis:

    Vanessa wanted to be a ballerina. Dad had such hopes for her.... Corin was the academically brilliant one, and a fencer of Olympic standard. Everything was expected of them, and they fulfilled all expectations. But I was the one of whom nothing was expected. I remember a game the three of us played. Vanessa was the President of the United States, Corin was the British Prime Minister—and I was the royal dog.
    Lynn Redgrave (b. 1943)

    Al that joye is went away,
    That wele is comen to weylaway,
    To manie harde stoundes.

    Hoere paradis hy nomen here,
    And now they lien in helle ifere:
    —Unknown. Ubi Sunt Qui ante Nos Fuerunt? (L. 16–20)
