Famous quotes containing the word ice:

    She has been man’s slave. He has been educated at her expense. If he bought the ice cream, she was expected to pay for all his luxuries in reduced wages. She has done the drudgery and borne the insults of those who wronged her, assuming to be her protector.
    Caroline Nichols Churchill (1833–?)
