Defeats Jack Crawford

Famous quotes containing the words defeats, jack and/or crawford:

“O, my offense is rank, it smells to heaven;
It hath the primal eldest curse upon ‘t,
A brother’s murder. Pray can I not,
Though inclination be as sharp as will;
My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent,
And like a man to double business bound
I stand in pause where I shall first begin,
And both neglect. What if this cursed hand
Were thicker than itself with brother’s blood,
Is there not rain enough in the sweet heavens
To wash it white as snow?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“He’s about as sensitive to a woman’s needs as Jack The Ripper.”
—Blake Edwards (b. 1922)

“[Asked by an interviewer, “What do YOU want to be?”]: What people want me to be.”
—Joan Crawford (1908–1977)
