Phyllis Mcginley

Famous quotes containing the words phyllis mcginley and/or mcginley:

    Of course we women gossip on occasion. But our appetite for it is not as avid as a man’s. It is in the boys’ gyms, the college fraternity houses, the club locker rooms, the paneled offices of business that gossip reaches its luxuriant flower.
    Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)

    A Mother’s hardest to forgive.
    Life is the fruit she longs to hand you,
    Ripe on a plate. And while you live,
    Relentlessly she understands you.
    —Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
