Mark Devoto

Famous quotes containing the words mark and/or devoto:

    We mothers are learning to mark our mothering success by our daughters’ lengthening flight. When they need us, we are fiercely there. But we do not need them to need us—or to become us.
    Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)

    You can no more keep a martini in the refrigerator than you can keep a kiss there. The proper union of gin and vermouth is a great and sudden glory; it is one of the happiest marriages on earth, and one of the shortest-lived.
    —Bernard Devoto (1897–1955)
