Iron Woman

Famous quotes containing the words iron and/or woman:

    I was even more surprised at the power of the waves, exhibited on this shattered fragment, than I had been at the sight of the smaller fragments before. The largest timbers and iron braces were broken superfluously, and I saw that no material could withstand the power of the waves; that iron must go to pieces in such a case, and an iron vessel would be cracked up like an egg- shell on the rocks.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    When a woman says she won’t, it’s a good sign that she will. And when she says she will, it is an even better sign.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
