Goose Girl

Famous quotes containing the words goose and/or girl:

    There was a crooked man, and he went a crooked mile,
    He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile:
    He bought a crooked cat which caught a crooked mouse,
    And they all lived together in a little crooked house.
    —Mother Goose (fl. 17th–18th century. There was a crooked man, and he went a crooked mile (l. 1–4)

    At thirty years a woman asks her lover to give her back the esteem she has forfeited for his sake; she lives only for him, her thoughts are full of his future, he must have a great career, she bids him make it glorious; she can obey, entreat, command, humble herself, or rise in pride; times without number she brings comfort when a young girl can only make moan.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)
