Determined

Famous quotes containing the word determined:

    Why am I so determined to put the shoulder where it belongs? Women have very round shoulders that push forward slightly; this touches me and I say: “One must not hide that!” Then someone tells you: “The shoulder is on the back.” I’ve never seen women with shoulders on their backs.
    Coco Chanel (1883–1971)

    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    There is no private life which has not been determined by a wider public life.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
