Famous quotes containing the word double:
“To be a woman and a writer
is double mischief, for
the world will slight her
who slights “the servile house,” and who would rather
make odes than beds.”
—Dilys Laing (1906–1960)
“Well, I had gone and spoiled it again, made another mistake. A double one in fact. There were plenty of ways to get rid of that officer by some simple and plausible device, but no, I must pick out a picturesque one; it is the crying defect of my character.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
