Unknown Maiden

Famous quotes containing the words unknown and/or maiden:

“I was a closet pacifier advocate. So were most of my friends. Unknown to our mothers, we owned thirty or forty of those little suckers that were placed strategically around the house so a cry could be silenced in less than thirty seconds. Even though bottles were boiled, rooms disinfected, and germs fought one on one, no one seemed to care where the pacifier had been.”
—Erma Bombeck (20th century)

“That is the man all tattered and torn
That kissed the maiden all forlorn”
—Mother Goose (fl. 17th–18th century. The House That Jack Built (l. 29–30)
