Famous quotes containing the words bill and/or paxton:

    The first year was critical to my assessment of myself as a person. It forced me to realize that, like being married, having children is not an end in itself. You don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.
    —Anonymous Mother. From the Boston Women’s Health Book Collection. Quoted in The Joys of Having a Child, by Bill and Gloria Adler (1993)

    Mr. Marriott: I’m afraid I don’t like your manner.
    Philip Marlowe: Yeah, I’ve had complaints about it but it keeps getting worse.
    —John Paxton (1911–1985)
