Victoria Knew

Famous quotes containing the words victoria and/or knew:

“Sometimes my wife complains that she’s overwhelmed with work and just can’t take one of the kids, for example, to a piano lesson. I’ll offer to do it for her, and then she’ll say, “No, I’ll do it.” We have to negotiate how much I trespass into that mother role—it’s not given up easily.”
—Anonymous Father. As quoted in Women and Their Fathers, by Victoria Secunda, ch. 3 (1992)

“every day they die
Among us, those who were doing us some good,
And knew it was never enough but
Hoped to improve a little by living.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
