Wife Becky

Famous quotes containing the words wife and/or becky:

    Helen Rowland (1875–1950)

    Material advancement has its share in moral and intellectual progress. Becky Sharp’s acute remark that it is not difficult to be virtuous on ten thousand a year has its applications to nations; and it is futile to expect a hungry and squalid population to be anything but violent and gross.
