Grace Murray Hopper

Famous quotes containing the words grace, murray and/or hopper:

    We raised a simple prayer
    Before we left the spot,
    That in the general mowing
    That place might be forgot;
    Or if not all so favored,
    Obtain such grace of hours
    That none should mow the grass there
    While so confused with flowers.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Strung out and spotty, you wriggle and sigh
    and kiss all the fellows and make them all die.
    —Les Murray (b. 1938)

    Maxim de Winter: Tell me, is Mrs. Van Hopper a friend of yours or just a relation?
    Mrs. de Winter: No, she’s my employer. I’m what’s known as a paid companion.
    Maxim de Winter: I didn’t know that companionship could be bought.
    Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)
