Famous quotes containing the words hester and/or street:

    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)

    The last time I saw Paris
    Her heart was warm and gay,
    I heard the laughter of her heart in every street café.
    Oscar Hammerstein II (1895–1960)
