Famous quotes containing the words fred and/or patten:
“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)
“There is a sort of exotic preposterousness about a lot of elections, the way arguments are made even cruder.”
—Chris Patten (b. 1944)
