Meant

Famous quotes containing the word meant:

    It was palpable, all that wanting: Mother wanting something more, Dad wanting something more, everyone wanting something more. This wasn’t going to do for us fifties girls; we were going to have to change the equation even if it meant . . . abstaining from motherhood, because clearly that was where Mother got caught.
    Anne Taylor Fleming (20th century)

    Be of good cheer, for you will never want, for the bullet was meant for me, though it hit you.
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be:
    Am an attendant lord, one that will do
    To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
    Advise the prince.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
