Involuntary Bankruptcy

Famous quotes containing the words involuntary and/or bankruptcy:

“How often our involuntary facial motions testify to the thoughts we were keeping secret, and betray us to those around!”

“A woman’s whole life is a history of the affections. The heart is her world: it is there her ambition strives for empire; it is there her avarice seeks for hidden treasures. She sends forth her sympathies on adventure; she embarks her whole soul on the traffic of affection; and if shipwrecked, her case is hopeless—for it is a bankruptcy of the heart.”
—Washington Irving (1783–1859)
