Famous quotes containing the word ladies:
“When other Ladies to the Shades go down,
Still Flavia, Chloris, Celia stay in Town;

And haunt the places where their Honour dy’d.”

“The ladies understood each other, in the careful way that ladies do once they understand each other. They were rather a pair than a couple, supporting each other from day to day, rather a set of utile, if ill-matched, bookends between which stood the opinion and idea in the metaphorical volumes that both connected them and kept them apart.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
“I don’t think the ladies in town accepted the fact that I worked. That was the point at which I said to myself, well, you’re always going to be out of step and you might as well face it.”
—Ellen Rodgers (b. c. 1930)
