Famous quotes containing the words louise and/or brown:

    The world is a puzzling place today. All these banks sending us credit cards, with our names on them. Well, we didn’t order any credit cards! We don’t spend what we don’t have. So we just cut them in half and throw them out, just as soon as we open them in the mail. Imagine a bank sending credit cards to two ladies over a hundred years old! What are those folks thinking?
    —Sarah Louise Delany (b. 1889)

    Oh you brown bacon machine,
    how sweet you lie,
    gaining a pound and a half a day,
    you rolled-up pair of socks,
    you dog’s nightmare....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
