Famous quotes containing the words grace and/or paley:

    Love not me for comely grace,
    For my pleasing eye or face,
    Nor for any outward part:
    No, nor for a constant heart!
    —Unknown. Love Not Me for Comely Grace (l. 1–4)

    ...I don’t have an inner drive to do as well as anybody else ... I have a great pleasure in writing and part of that is political and part of that is I’m surprised that I’ve done as well as I have. I really am just surprised.
    —Grace Paley (b. 1922)
