Famous quotes containing the words current, twelve and/or apostles:

    “Men perceive that equating love and domestic work is a trap. They fear that to get involved with housework would send them hurtling into the bottomless pit of self-sacrifice that is women’s current caring roles.”
    —Debbie Taylor (20th century)

    “I was born at the age of twelve on a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer lot.”
    —Judy Garland (1922–1969)

    “‘Tis probable Religion after this
    Came next in order; which they could not miss.
    How could the Dutch but be converted, when
    The Apostles were so many fishermen?
    Besides the waters of themselves did rise,
    And, as their land, so them did re-baptize.”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
