Famous quotes containing the words greene and/or hubbard:

    Those who marry God can become domesticated too—it’s just as hum-drum a marriage as all the others. The word “Love” means a formal touch of the lips as in the ceremony of the Mass, and “Ave Maria” like “dearest” is a phrase to open a letter.
    —Graham Greene (1904–1991)

    Nobody ever forgets where he buried a hatchet.
    —Kin Hubbard (F. [Frank] Mckinney Hubbard)
