Mail Order Bride

Famous quotes containing the words mail, order and/or bride:

    We grew up founding our dreams on the infinite promise of American advertising. I still believe that one can learn to play the piano by mail and that mud will give you a perfect complexion.
    Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)

    Deafness produces bizarre effects, reversing the natural order of things; the interchange of letters is the conversation of the deaf, and the only link with society. I would be in despair, for instance, over seeing you speak, but, instead, I am only too happy to hear you write.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Of what is real I say,
    Is it the old, the roseate parent or
    The bride come jingling, kissed and cupped, or else
    The spirit and all ensigns of the self?
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
