Famous quotes containing the words magnolia and/or classic:
“... the majority of colored men do not yet think it worth while that women aspire to higher education.... The three R’s, a little music and a good deal of dancing, a first rate dress-maker and a bottle of magnolia balm, are quite enough generally to render charming any woman possessed of tact and the capacity for worshipping masculinity.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say.”
—Italo Calvino (1923–1985)
