Famous quotes containing the words john and/or stewart:
“People named John and Mary never divorce. For better or for worse, in madness and in saneness, they seem bound together for eternity by their rudimentary nomenclature. They may loathe and despise one another, quarrel, weep, and commit mayhem, but they are not free to divorce. Tom, Dick, and Harry can go to Reno on a whim, but nothing short of death can separate John and Mary.”
—John Cheever (1912–1982)
“There are few men more superstitious than soldiers. There are, after all, the men who live closest to death.”
—Mary Stewart (b. 1916)
