Marble Falls

Famous quotes containing the words marble and/or falls:

Must carve in Latine or in Greek,
We write in Sand, our Language grows,
And like the Tide our work o’erflows.”
—Edmund Waller (1606–1687)

“I had heard so much about how hard it was supposed to be that, when they were little, I thought it would be horrible when they got married and left. But that’s silly you know. . . . By the time they grow up, they change and you change. Eventually, they’re not the same little kids and you’re not the same mother. It’s as if everything just falls into a pattern and you’re ready.”
—Anonymous Mother. As quoted in Women of a Certain Age, by Lillian B. Rubin, ch. 2 (1979)
