I was thrown together with Florence, or 'Florawns' as she was called, a pert girl of nineteen who worked in our kitchen and was sent out to help me. First, I followed her to a butcher where fat sausages hung from the ceiling like aldermen's chains, and I could choose the best of plump ducks, sides of beef, and chops standing guard like sentries on parade. Once the deal was done Florence paid him, gave me a wink and cast a trickle of coins into her apron pocket. So it seemed that serving girls will pay themselves the whole world over.
The size of the Paris market made Covent Garden look like a tinker's tray. And I never before saw such neatness; the cakes arranged in pinks and yellows and greens like an embroidery, and the cheeses even prettier, some as tiny as thimbles and others great solid cartwheels. As for the King Cakes the French made for Twelfth Night, the scents of almond and caramelled sugar were to me far sweeter than any perfumed waters. ~ Martine Bailey
Biddy And Florence quotes by Martine Bailey
And worry are twins and are the same thing. If ~ Florence Scovel Shinn
Biddy And Florence quotes by Florence Scovel Shinn
Nursing is an art: and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion as hard a preparation as any painter's or sculptor's work; for what is the having to do with dead canvas or dead marble, compared with having to do with the living body, the temple of God's spirit? It is one of the Fine Arts: I had almost said, the finest of Fine Arts. ~ Florence Nightingale
Biddy And Florence quotes by Florence Nightingale
During the songs, you transcend yourself. The best way to be in the performance is to be without pause and be essentially in the moment, in that moment of expression. ~ Florence Welch
Biddy And Florence quotes by Florence Welch
To give yourself over to another body
That's all you want really
To be out of your own and consumed by another
To swim inside the skin of your lover
Not have to breathe
Not have to think
But you can't live on love
And salt water's no drink
We're dying of thirst so we feast on each other
The sea is still our violent mother
The blood round here pours down like water
Each wave a lamb lead to the slaughter
And like children that she just can't teach
We break, and break, and break
And break ourselves upon the beach- Body of Water ~ Florence Welch
Biddy And Florence quotes by Florence Welch
Starting a job and working hard is how to be successful. ~ Florence Nightingale
Biddy And Florence quotes by Florence Nightingale
She turns to look down at the tiered vineyards and, beyond, the vignette of Florence in the valley as if scooped up on a spoon. Its domes and spires and rooftops appearing to float on a tide of unearthly mist as inviolate and inaccessible as a private longing. ~ Glenn Haybittle
Biddy And Florence quotes by Glenn Haybittle
For someone so conflicted, who am I to give advice to anybody? It's such a funny, grandiose idea ~ Florence Welch
Biddy And Florence quotes by Florence Welch
You have the most revolting Florence Nightingale complex,' said Mrs. Smiling.
It is not that at all, and well you know it. On the whole, I dislike my fellow beings; I find them so difficult to understand. But I have a tidy mind and untidy lives irritate me. Also, they are uncivilized. ~ Stella Gibbons
Biddy And Florence quotes by Stella Gibbons
The belle is a product of the Deep South, which is a product of the nineteenth century and the Age of Romanticism. Virginia is a product of the eighteenth century. It's impossible to extract a belle from the Age of Reason. ~ Florence King
Biddy And Florence quotes by Florence King
As rich Cahill superstars went, Fidelio Racco was definitely on the B-list. Maybe even the D-list. Google had heard of him, but a search for his surname placed him below Racco Auto Body in Toronto and Trattoria Racco in Florence, and only slightly ahead of the Rack O'Lamb Irish Chop House in Des Moines. ~ Gordon Korman
Biddy And Florence quotes by Gordon Korman
It seems that I have been held in some dreaming state
A tourist in the waking world world, never quite awake.
No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber,
Until I realised that it was you who held me under. ~ Florence + The Machine
Biddy And Florence quotes by Florence + The Machine
If one asks for success and prepares for failure, one will get the situation one has prepared for. ~ Florence Scovel Shinn
Biddy And Florence quotes by Florence Scovel Shinn
The symptoms or the sufferings generally considered to be inevitable and incident to the disease are very often not symptoms of the disease at all, but of something quite different-of the want of fresh air, or of light, or of warmth, or of quiet, or of cleanliness, or of punctuality and care in the administration of diet, of each or of all of these. ~ Florence Nightingale
Biddy And Florence quotes by Florence Nightingale
I've learned more about myself in solitude. I've both driven myself crazy and found peace. I've realized the power in just letting shit be. ~ Reyna Biddy
Biddy And Florence quotes by Reyna Biddy
Anyway, I think Florence and I noticed each other before the local train screeched to a halt at the 110th Street station, because as I boarded it felt as though we were supposed to step into the same car, and hold onto the same moist metal bar. My wishful hunch now seems confirmed by the way she's reading her Time magazine article next to me. ~ Zack Love
Biddy And Florence quotes by Zack Love
If you deconstruct Italy, you will in the end see a grapevine, a tomato and a small boy hammering a shard of marble. ~ Pietros Maneos
Biddy And Florence quotes by Pietros Maneos
Nay, a heart of love is treasure, and the best the world contains. ~ Florence Morse Kingsley
Biddy And Florence quotes by Florence Morse Kingsley
I suddenly became conscious that, for the first time in my whole life, I was essential to somebody. I could not enter a room without realising that he was instantly aware of my presence; I could not leave a room without knowing that he would at once feel and regret my absence. ~ Florence L. Barclay
Biddy And Florence quotes by Florence L. Barclay
Spending all my remaining money on a ticket to Florence was rendered needlessly complicated by the fact that none of the ticket-sellers had ever heard of the place. At last their supervisor showed up and set them straight by informing them that the city they had always referred to as 'Firenze' was in reality called Florence. ~ Clive James
Biddy And Florence quotes by Clive James
Build a fence around the South and you'd have one big madhouse. ~ Florence King
Biddy And Florence quotes by Florence King
In 1959 Florence Green occasionally passed a night when she was not absolutely sure whether she had slept or not. This was because of her worries as to whether to purchase a small property, the Old House, with its own warehouse on the foreshore, and to open the only bookshop in Hardborough. The uncertainty probably kept her awake. She had once seen a heron flying across the estuary and trying, while it was on the wing, to swallow an eel which it had caught. The eel, in turn, was struggling to escape from the gullet of the heron and appeared a quarter, a half, or occasionally three-quarters of the way out. The indecision expressed by both creatures was pitiable. They had taken on too much. Florence felt that if she hadn't slept at all - and people often say this when they mean nothing of the kind - she must have been kept awake by thinking of the heron. ~ Penelope Fitzgerald
Biddy And Florence quotes by Penelope Fitzgerald
Recently while browsing in a secondhand bookstore I bought a paperback copy of The Intellectual and the City, but I was unable to read it. When I got home I discovered that the original owner had highlighted the entire book - literally. Every line on every page had been drawn through with a bright green Magic Marker. It was a terrifying example of a mind that had lost all power of discrimination. ~ Florence King
Biddy And Florence quotes by Florence King
Go out and find a copy of 'The Shrinking Of Treehorn' and its sequel, 'Treehorn's Treasure.' Written by Florence Parry Heide and illustrated by the great Edward Gorey, master of the gothic and the macabre, these books are small masterpieces. ~ Chris Riddell
Biddy And Florence quotes by Chris Riddell
A cardinal rule of writing is never interrupt yourself to explain something. If you must bring up an obscure topic, drop informative hints about it as you go along so that you don't end up with the entire explanation all in one place. This keeps you from skidding to a stop and sounding teacherish. Otherwise it's better to omit the obscure topic altogether, or as mothers might put it: if you can't say it interestingly, don't say it at all. ~ Florence King
Biddy And Florence quotes by Florence King
It's the Government's job to print the money, deliver the mail and declare war. Now give me my cigarettes. ~ Florence King
Biddy And Florence quotes by Florence King
My mind has claws and sets of teeth if left unchecked it will eat and eat

-Depressive Pacman ~ Florence Welch
Biddy And Florence quotes by Florence Welch
if you run away your problems will run after you. Be undisturbed by a situation, and it will fall away of its own weight. ~ Florence Scovel Shinn
Biddy And Florence quotes by Florence Scovel Shinn
We went back into the drawing room. The evening had passes pleasantly enough, heaven knows, but I was glad that they had gone and the house was silent once again. She must have had the same thought, for she stood a moment, looking around her in the drawing room, she said, 'I love the stillness of a room, after a party. The chairs are moved, the cushions disarranged, everything is there to show that people enjoyed themselves; and one comes back to the empty room happy that it's over, happy to relax and say, "Now we are alone again." Ambrose used to say to me in Florence that it was worth the tedium of visitors to experience the pleasure of their going, He was so right. ~ Daphne Du Maurier
Biddy And Florence quotes by Daphne Du Maurier
I do not limit God by seeing limitation in myself. With God and myself all things are possible. ~ Florence Scovel Shinn
Biddy And Florence quotes by Florence Scovel Shinn
If you ever open a drawer, Florence. If you ever open a drawer and find something there you weren't expecting, just remember there is so very much more to us than the worst thing we have ever done. Remember that, Florence. Please remember, even when I'm not here to remind you. ~ Joanna Cannon
Biddy And Florence quotes by Joanna  Cannon
I love Lady Gaga and I love Katy Perry and R&B and rap music ... I love big, American pop music. ~ Florence Welch
Biddy And Florence quotes by Florence Welch
Happiness and health must be earned by absolute control of the emotional nature. ~ Florence Scovel Shinn
