Famous quotes containing the word match:
“We cannot expect in the immediate future that all women who seek it will achieve full equality of opportunity.

Born under the skies
Dare match in learning with us two,
And all day long we have found
There’s not a thing but love can make
The world a narrow pound.””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“When they turn the sun
on again I’ll plant children
under it, I’ll light up my soul
with a match and let it sing....”
