Famous quotes containing the words julia and/or stone:
“... the majority of colored men do not yet think it worth while that women aspire to higher education.... The three R’s, a little music and a good deal of dancing, a first rate dress-maker and a bottle of magnolia balm, are quite enough generally to render charming any woman possessed of tact and the capacity for worshipping masculinity.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“Now my saying shall be my undoing,
And every stone I wind off like a reel.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
