Eldest Sons

Famous quotes containing the words eldest and/or sons:

“O, my offense is rank, it smells to heaven,
It hath the primal eldest curse upon’t,
A brother’s murder.”

“With two sons born eighteen months apart, I operated mainly on automatic pilot through the ceaseless activity of their early childhood. I remember opening the refrigerator late one night and finding a roll of aluminum foil next to a pair of small red tennies. Certain that I was responsible for the refrigerated shoes, I quickly closed the door and ran upstairs to make sure I had put the babies in their cribs instead of the linen closet.”
