Ladies

Famous quotes containing the word ladies:

“Great ladies are no more spiteful than the average rich woman; but one acquires in their society a greater susceptibility, and feels more profoundly and ... more irremediably, their unpleasant remarks.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)

“When other Ladies to the Shades go down,
Still Flavia, Chloris, Celia stay in Town;
Those Ghosts of Beauty ling’ring there abide,
And haunt the places where their Honour dy’d.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

“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. 7–8)
