Coming

Famous quotes containing the word coming:

    When you’re alone in the middle of the night and you wake in a sweat and a hell of a fright
    When you’re alone in the middle of the bed and you wake like someone hit you in the head
    You’ve had a cream of a nightmare dream and you’ve got the hoo-ha’s coming to you.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Most of us don’t have mothers who blazed a trail for us—at least, not all the way. Coming of age before or during the inception of the women’s movement, whether as working parents or homemakers, whether married or divorced, our mothers faced conundrums—what should they be? how should they act?—that became our uncertainties.
    Anne Roiphe (20th century)

    You might think that after thousands of years of coming up too soon and getting frozen, the crocus family would have had a little sense knocked into it.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
