Famous quotes containing the words port and/or hudson:
“When we think back to our forefathers, with their sedentary lives of forest-chopping, railroad-building, fortune-founding, their fox-hunting and Indian taming, their prancing about in the mazurka and the polka, with their coattails flying and their bustles bouncing, to say nothing of their all-day sessions with the port and straight bourbon,... we must realize that we are a nation, not of neurasthenics, but of sissies and slow-motion sports.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“In America, every female under fifty calls herself a “girl.””
—H.E. Bates, British screenwriter, and David Lean. Jane Hudson (Katherine Hepburn)
