Famous quotes containing the word van:

    It’s not that we want the political jobs themselves ... but they seem to be the only language the men understand. We don’t really want these $200 a year jobs. But the average man doesn’t understand working for a cause.
    —Jennie Carolyn Van Ness (b. c. 1890–?)
