Famous quotes containing the words julia and/or younger:

    ... the majority of colored men do not yet think it worth while that women aspire to higher education.... The three R’s, a little music and a good deal of dancing, a first rate dress-maker and a bottle of magnolia balm, are quite enough generally to render charming any woman possessed of tact and the capacity for worshipping masculinity.
    —Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)

    Harvey: You’re a hell of a lot younger than I am. And you’re a dancer.
    Gillian: I’m a singer.
    Harvey: Well, you dance around when you sing.
    Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
