Famous quotes containing the words fred and/or dubois:
“For me, it’s enough! They’ve been here long enough—maybe too long. It’s a funny thing, though. All these years Fred was too busy to have much time for the kids, now he’s the one who’s depressed because they’re leaving. He’s really having trouble letting go. He wants to gather them around and keep them right here in this house.”
—Anonymous Parent. As quoted in Women of a Certain Age, by Lillian B. Rubin, ch. 2 (1979)
“These doctors, they’ve got no mercy on you, ‘specially if you’re black. Ah! I’ve seen ‘em, many a time, but, they never come after me, I never gave ‘em a chance—not the first time.”
—Sylvia Dubois (1788?–1889)
