Haven/people

Famous quotes containing the words haven and/or people:

    Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.
    Barbara Howar (b. 1934)

    He took as his motto: misfortune is good for something. How many good people have been able to say: misfortune is good for nothing!
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
