Famous quotes containing the words william, holmes and/or crosby:

    April, April,
    Laugh thy girlish laughter,
    But, the moment after,
    Weep thy golden tears!
    —Sir William Watson (1858–1935)

    “No, no; the real name,” said Holmes sweetly. “It is always awkward doing business with an alias.”
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    Just as we need to encourage women to test life’s many options, we need to acknowledge real limits of energy and resources. It would be pointless and cruel to prescribe role combination for every woman at each moment of her life. Life has its seasons. There are moments when a woman ought to invest emotionally in many different roles, and other moments when she may need to conserve her psychological energies.
    —Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
