Famous quotes containing the words female and/or flowers:
“I look on it as no trifling effort of female strength to withstand the artful and ardent solicitations of a man that is thoroughly master of our hearts. Should we in the conflict come off victorious, it hardly pays us for the pain we suffer from the experiment ... and I still persist in it that such a behaviour in any man I love would rob me of that most pleasing thought, namely, the obligation I have to him for not making such a trial.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“All for me? And not a question
For the faded flowers gay
That could take me from beside you
For the ages of a day?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
