Elizabeth Yard

Famous quotes containing the words elizabeth and/or yard:

    “...we avoid hospitals because ... they’ll kill you there. They overtreat you. And when they see how old you are, and that you still have a mind, they treat you like a curiosity: like “Exhibit A” and “Exhibit B.” Like, “Hey. nurse, come on over here and looky-here at this old woman, she’s in such good shape....” . Most of the time they don’t even treat you like a person, just an object.”
    —Annie Elizabeth Delany (b. 1891)

    “You must come down with me after the show to the lumber yard and ride piggy-back on the buzz saws.”
    —W.C. Fields, U.S. screenwriter, George Marshall, and Eddie Cline. Larsen E. Whipsnade (W.C. Fields)
