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)

    What would it mean to live
    in a city whose people were changing
    each other’s despair into hope?—
    You yourself must change it.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
