Madame Flora

Famous quotes containing the words madame and/or flora:

“Rather would I have the love songs of romantic ages, rather Don Juan and Madame Venus, rather an elopement by ladder and rope on a moonlight night, followed by the father’s curse, mother’s moans, and the moral comments of neighbors, than correctness and propriety measured by yardsticks.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

“A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”
