Famous quotes containing the word wives:
“One swiftly forgets his intolerable writing, his mirthless, sedulous, repellent manner, in the face of the Athenian tragedy he instills into his seduced and soul-sick servant girls, his barbaric pirates of finances, his conquered and hamstrung supermen, his wives who sit and wait. He has, like Conrad, a sure talent for depicting the spirit in disintegration.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“There is no cure for stupid wives and willful children.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Thats right, son. Thats why I keep my hat on, so my horns dont show. Why Ive got more wives than Solomon hisself. At least thats what folks around here say. And if they dont say it, they, they think it.”
—Frank S. Nugent (19081965)
