Hester Continues

Famous quotes containing the words hester and/or continues:

    It was almost two years ago, while awaiting the imminent birth of my second child, that I decided to start working part-time. This would have been unthinkable to me when I was younger. At twenty-five I should have worn a big red A on my chest; it would have stood for ambition, an ambition so brazen and burning that it would have reduced Hester Prynne’s transgression to pale pink.
    Anna Quindlen (20th century)

    Whatever else may divide us, Europe is our common home; a common fate has linked us through the centuries, and it continues to link us today.
    Leonid Brezhnev (1906–1982)
