Famous quotes containing the words contract, bridge and/or terms:

    Any intelligent woman who reads the marriage contract and then goes into it, deserves all the consequences.

    A circle swoop, and a quick parabola under the bridge arches
    Where light pushes through;
    A sudden turning upon itself of a thing in the air.
    A dip to the water.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    As for the virtuous poor, one can pity them, of course, but one cannot possibly admire them. They have made private terms with the enemy, and sold their birthright for very bad pottage. They must also be extraordinarily stupid.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
