Famous quotes containing the word retirement:

    “Adultery itself in its principle is many times nothing but a curious inquisition after, and envy of another man’s enclosed pleasures: and there have been many who refused fairer objects that they might ravish an enclosed woman from her retirement and single possessor.”
    —Jeremy Taylor (1613–1667)

    “Convent. A place of retirement for women who wish for leisure to meditate upon the sin of idleness.”
    —Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
