Famous quotes containing the words store and/or brands:
“Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
“Helios makes all things right:
night brands and chokes
as if destruction broke
over furze and stone and crop.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
