Famous quotes containing the words mother and/or jones:

    “But a mother is like a broomstick or like the sun in the heavens, it does not matter which as far as one’s knowledge of her is concerned: the broomstick is there and the sun is there; and whether the child is beaten by it or warmed and enlightened by it, it accepts it as a fact in nature, and does not conceive it as having had youth, passions, and weaknesses, or as still growing, yearning, suffering, and learning.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “Well, I’d certainly say she had marvelous judgment, Albert, if not particularly good taste.”
    —L.Q. Jones [Justus Mcqueen] (b. 1936)
