Famous quotes containing the word ladies:
“I went to a literary gathering once.... The place was filled with people who looked as if they had been scraped up out of drains. The ladies ran to draped plush dressesfor Art; to wreaths of silken flowerets in the hairfor Femininity; and, somewhere between the two adornments, to chain-drive pince-nezfor Astigmatism. The gentlemen were small and somewhat in need of dusting.”
—Dorothy Parker (18931967)
“Fine knacks for ladies, cheap, choice, brave and new,
Good pennyworths,but money cannot move:
I keep a fair but for the Fair to view,
A beggar may be liberal of love.
Though all my wares be trash, the heart is true,”
—Unknown. Fine Knacks for Ladies (l. 78)
“It is very fashionable for good-looking ladies to say how hard it is to be beautiful, but thats not true. There are times when it depresses and bothers me to see just how easy things are made for a beautiful woman.”
—Catherine Deneuve (b. 1943)
