Famous quotes containing the words paper and/or roses:

    I’ve always had the notion that people go to spectator sports to have fun and then they grab the paper to read about it and have fun again.
    Walter Wellesley (Red)

    Better than mortal flowers,
    Thy moon-kissed roses seem: better than love or sleep,
    The star-crowned solitude of thine oblivious hours!
    Ernest Christopher Dowson (1867–1900)
