“To me heaven would be a big bull ring with me holding two barrera seats and a trout stream outside that no one else was allowed to fish in and two lovely houses in the town; one where I would have my wife and children and be monogamous and love them truly and well and the other where I would have my nine beautiful mistresses on nine different floors.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“O, she walked unaware of her own increasing beauty
That was holding men’s thoughts from market or plough,”
—Patrick MacDonogh (1902–1961)
“Golf is a fine relief from the tensions of office, but we are a little tired of holding the bag.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
