Ladies

Famous quotes containing the word ladies:

    Almost yesterday, those gentle ladies stole
    to their baths in Atlantic City, for the lost
    rites of the first sea of the first salt
    running from a faucet.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    No—is a term very frequently employed by the fair, when they mean everything else but a negative. Their yes is always yes; but their no is not always no.
    Anonymous, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. M, Weekly Visitor or Ladies Miscellany, p. 203 (April 1803)

    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)
