Does he behave in rude or improper ways?"
"He's a Bowman. We don't know any better. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Without thinking, Lillian let out a few curse words that caused Evie to blanch. One of Lillian's more questionable accomplishments was the ability to swear as fluently as a sailor, acquired from much time spent with her grandmother, who had worked as a washwoman at the harbor docks. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Westcliff thinks that St. Vincent is in love with you."
Evie choked a little and didn't dare look up from her tea. "Wh-why does he think that?"
"He's known St. Vincent from childhood, and can read him fairly well. And Westcliff sees an odd sort of logic in why you would finally be the one to win St. Vincent's heart. He says a girl like you would appeal to ... hmm, how did he put it? ... I can't remember the exact words, but it was something like ... you would appeal to St. Vincent's deepest, most secret fantasy."
Evie felt her cheeks flushing while a skirmish of pain and hope took place in the tired confines of her chest. She tried to respond sardonically. "I should think his fantasy is to consort with as many women as possible."
A grin crossed Lillian's lips. "Dear, that is not St. Vincent's fantasy, it's his reality. And you're probably the first sweet, decent girl he's ever had anything to do with. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lisa Kleypas
As Lillian walked into the orangery, she was suffused in the scent of... oranges. But lemons, bays, and myrtles also cast their fragrance extravagantly through the gently heated air. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Despite the sisters' pretend rivalry and occasional squabbles, they were each other's staunchest ally and closest friend. Few people in Lillian's life had ever loved her except Daisy, who adored the ugliest stray dogs, the most annoying children, and things that needed to be repaired or thrown out altogether.
And yet for all their closeness, they were quite different. Daisy was an idealist, a dreamer, a mercurial creature who alternated between childlike whimsy and shrewd intelligence. Lillian knew herself to be a sharp-tongued girl with a fortress of defenses between herself and the rest of the world- a girl with well-maintained cynicism and a biting sense of humor. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lisa Kleypas
We are hidiously rich Annabelle
and I've got three older brothers, all unmarried. Would you consider one of them? If you like, I'll have one shipped across the Atlantic for your inspection. -Lillian Bowman ~ Lisa Kleypas
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Before Westcliff could launch into an unwanted diatribe regarding Annabelle, Simon sought to distract him. "You don't seem to rub on well with Miss Bowman," he remarked.
As a diversionary tactic, the mention of Lillian Bowman was supremely effective.
Westcliff responded with a surly grunt. "The ill-mannered brat dared to imply that Miss Peyton's mishap was my fault," he said, pouring a brandy for himself.
Simon raised his brows. "How could it be your fault?"
"Miss Bowman seems to think that, as their host, it was my responsibility to ensure that my estate wasn't 'overrun with a plague of poisonous vipers,' as she put it."
"How did you reply?"
"I pointed out to Miss Bowman that the guests who choose to remain clothed when they venture out of doors don't usually seem to get bitten by adders."
Simon couldn't help grinning at that. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Beginning to feel that her brother was being rather too harsh on Lillian Bowman, Livia frowned. "She's a very pretty girl, Marcus."
"A pretty facade isn't enough to make up for the flaws in her character."
"Which are?"
Marcus made a faint scoffing sound, as if Miss Bowman's faults were too obvious to require enumeration. "She's manipulative."
"So are you, dear," Livia murmured.
He ignored that. "She's domineering."
"As are you."
"She's arrogant."
"Also you," Livia said brightly.
Marcus glowered at her. "I thought we were discussing Miss Bowman's faults, not mine."
"But you seem to have so much in common," Livia protested, rather too innocently. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Every now and then the breeze carries a distinct hint of eau de sheep."
"Really?" Annabelle sniffed experimentally. "I don't smell a thing."
"That's because you don't have a nose," Lillian replied.
"I beg your pardon?" Annabelle asked with a quizzical grin.
"Oh, you have a regular sort of nose," Lillian explained, "but I have 'a nose.' I'm unusually sensitive to smell. Give me any perfume, and I can separate it into all its parts. Rather like listening to a musical chord and dividing all its notes. Before we left New York, I even helped to develop a formula for scented soap, for my father's factory."
"Could you create a perfume, do you think?" Annabelle asked in fascination.
"I daresay I could create an excellent perfume," Lillian said confidently. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lisa Kleypas
You are a rebellion, a useless retaliation against a ghost. And when the novelty of his vulgar bride wears thin, the earl will come to despise you as I do. But by then it will be too late. The lineage will be ruined."
Lillian remained expressionless, though she felt the color drain from her face. No one, she realized, had ever looked at her with real hatred until now. It was clear that the countess wished every ill upon her short of death- perhaps not even barring that. Rather than shrink, cry, or protest, however, Lillian found herself launching a counterattack. "Maybe he wants to marry me as a retaliation against you, my lady. In which case I am delighted to serve as the means of reprisal. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lisa Kleypas
She wandered to one of the lavender stalks and touched the tiny violet-blue blossoms, and brought her scented fingertips to her throat. "They extract the essential oil by forcing steam through the plants and drawing off the liquid. It takes something like five hundred pounds of lavender plants to produce just a few precious ounces of oils. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Besides, we've all had to overcome a bit of stupidity when falling in love. I'm afraid it comes with the territory. ~ Valerie Bowman
Lillian Bowman quotes by Valerie Bowman
On my way out with the rest, I glanced back at Bowman. he was on this knees, his hair in his face, his nose and split lips dripping with blood. He was staring down at the floor like he'd been waiting for this and now it had finally happened; he look relieved. ~ Andre Dubus III
Lillian Bowman quotes by Andre Dubus III
Happiness is not in the having or being- it is in the doing. ~ Lillian Watson
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lillian Watson
Lillian was always so good at treating everything like a test, like some kind of game where the prize was shiny and untouchable. Perfection. She wanted me to back off, butt out, stop trying to control her life. And she wanted me to save her. ~ Brenna Yovanoff
Lillian Bowman quotes by Brenna Yovanoff
HEY GURL U LOOK CUTE TODAY ~ Khalani, Bowman
Lillian Bowman quotes by Khalani, Bowman
But some people are just starfish--they need everyone to fill the roles that they assign. They need the world to sit around them, pointing at them and validating their feelings. But you can't spend your life trying to make a starfish happy, because no matter what you do, it will never be enough. They will always find a way to make themselves the center of attention, because it's the only way they know how to live. ~ Akemi Dawn Bowman
Lillian Bowman quotes by Akemi Dawn Bowman
I want to find self-worth without needing it to come from someone's approval. ~ Akemi Dawn Bowman
Lillian Bowman quotes by Akemi Dawn Bowman
You know they used to use nails," he says. "In the old days. Poor folks still do. Not the best idea, a nail in a coffin." Bowman says nothing, but in his mind, he asks, Coffin? The man nods, smiling. He picks up something now, and shows it to Bowman, for inspection. It is a long brass screw. "That's better," he says. "Better than a nail. Notice anything about it?" Bowman shakes his head. "The screw runs widdershins. Back to front. 'Gainst the clock. All the other screws in the world turn the other way to this one. But coffin screws are different. " Bowman forms a word in his mind. Why? The coffin maker smiles. "To stop them from coming back, of course. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Lillian Bowman quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
There are three sources of belief: reason, custom, inspiration. The Christian religion, which alone has reason, does not acknowledge as her true children those who believe without inspiration. It is not that she excludes reason and custom. On the contrary, the mind must be open to proofs, must be confirmed by custom, and offer itself in humbleness to inspirations, which alone can produce a true and saving effect ~ Robert M. Bowman Jr.
Lillian Bowman quotes by Robert M. Bowman Jr.
The task of organizing human happiness needs the active cooperation of man and woman: it cannot be relegated to one half of the world. ~ Lillian Wald
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lillian Wald
Belief is a moral act for which the believer is to be held responsible. ~ Lillian Hellman
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lillian Hellman
Every time I think that I am getting old, and gradually going to the grave, something else happens. ~ Lillian Gordy Carter
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lillian Gordy Carter
The problem is, that no matter where you work there's going to be people that are so dumb you wonder how the hell they remember to breathe every morning. ~ Lillian Strange
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lillian Strange
For men tied fast to the absolute, bled of their differences, drained of their dreams by authoritarian leeches until nothing but pulp is left, become a massive, sick Thing whose sheer weight is used ruthlessly by ambitious men. Here is the real enemy of the people: our own selves dehumanized into the masses. And where is the David who can slay this giant? ~ Lillian Smith
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lillian Smith
Fear comes with middle age. ~ Lillian Hellman
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lillian Hellman
We often forget our human connectedness. Throughout my life, I have felt the greatest beauty lies in this connection. It has been in the deepest connections with others that I have experienced the greatest degree of learning, healing and transformation. This connection is a powerful thing, with the ability to transform lives, and ultimately transform human experience. ~ Kristi Bowman
Lillian Bowman quotes by Kristi Bowman
Yet Lillian is all heart and love, but fearless in the face of foe. ~ Morrissey
Lillian Bowman quotes by Morrissey
Success isn't everything but it makes a man stand straight. ~ Lillian Hellman
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lillian Hellman
Break the cinnamon in half.'

The cinnamon stick was light, curled around itself like a brittle roll of papyrus. Not a stick at all, Lillian remembered as she look closer, but bark, the meeting place between inside and out. It crackled as she broke it, releasing a spiciness, part heat, part sweet, that pricked her eyes and nose, and made her tongue tingle without even tasting it. ~ Erica Bauermeister
Lillian Bowman quotes by Erica Bauermeister
My father was often angry when I was most like him. ~ Lillian Hellman
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lillian Hellman
Childhood is less clear to me than to many people: when it ended I turned my face away from it for no reason that I know about, certainly without the usual reason of unhappy memories. For many years that worried me, but then I discovered that the tales of former children are seldom to be trusted. Some people supply too many past victories or pleasures with which to comfort themselves, and other people cling to pains, real and imagined, to excuse what they have become. ~ Lillian Hellman
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lillian Hellman
Like never before the trajectories of wealth, business, and poverty can be altered in unexpected ways by women. The field of dreams is being reconstructed by technology and the knowledge economy so that the gates, ceilings, doors, and portals are wide open for all who want to play. ~ Lillian Gregory
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lillian Gregory
Right, because they're looking at also organizing the Sunni tribes up around Mosul to take back that city as well. That's the second largest city in Iraq. That's going to be a very, very tough fight. And the Shia militias were not used in Ramadi, and we're told by the Iraqi generals that they don't want any Shia militias up in Mosul, either, to take back that city. So - but again, that's going to be a very, very tough fight. ~ Tom Bowman
Lillian Bowman quotes by Tom Bowman
I think the difference between me and some people is that I'm content to do my little bit. Sometimes people think they have to do big things in order to make change. But if each one would light a candle we'd have a tremendous light. ~ Thea Bowman
Lillian Bowman quotes by Thea Bowman
If you die, I'll die.' 'But is you live, I'll live.' - Bowman and Kestrel, Firesong ~ William Nicholson
Lillian Bowman quotes by William Nicholson
North Carolina has a monument to [Peter Francisco], and no one knows that. That's the kind of stuff that drives me. ~ Travis Bowman
Lillian Bowman quotes by Travis Bowman
Ah! some love Paris, / And some Purdue. / But love is an archer with a low I.Q. / A bold, bad bowman, and innocent of pity. / So I'm in love with / New York City. ~ Phyllis McGinley
Lillian Bowman quotes by Phyllis McGinley
What will you do now?'
I think I will become a monk and devote my entire life to prayer and good works.'
No,' said Rek. 'I mean, what will you do today?'
Ah! Today I'll get drunk and go whoring,' said Bowman. ~ David Gemmell
Lillian Bowman quotes by David Gemmell
Everyone's weird, I'm just a bit bizarre. ~ Pennie Lillian
Lillian Bowman quotes by Pennie Lillian
The society girl meets more dangers than the girl on the stage. There is more danger at a tango tea than in the theatre. The actor is less dangerous than the dancing master. ~ Lillian Russell
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lillian Russell
Everyone wants to escape, everyone's drawn to escapism to leave their lives for an hour or two, and we're all so curious as human beings. ~ Josh Bowman
Lillian Bowman quotes by Josh Bowman
No one can argue any longer about the rights of women. It's like arguing about earthquakes. ~ Lillian Hellman
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lillian Hellman
The only truths they believe are thier own words. ~ Erin Bowman
Lillian Bowman quotes by Erin Bowman
Have you noticed how few men in the peerage are young and nice-looking?" Lillian asked wryly. "Most of them are dull-witted, ancient, or possess the kind of face that should have a hook in its mouth. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lisa Kleypas
All husbands are unfaithful in one way or another."
Lillian and Daisy glanced at each other with raised brows.
"Father isn't," Lillian replied smartly.
Mercedes responded with a laugh that sounded like crackling leaves being crushed underfoot. "Isn't he, dear? Perhaps he has stayed true to me physically - one can never be certain about these things. But his work has proved a more jealous and demanding mistress than a flesh-and-blood woman could ever be. All his dreams are invested in that collection of buildings and employees and legalities that absorb him to the exclusion of all else. If my competition had been a mortal woman, I could have borne it easily, knowing that passion fades and beauty lasts but an instant. But his company will never fade or sicken - it will outlast us all. If you have a year of your husband's interest and affection, it will be more than I have ever had. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Here, I'll read his explanation. 'Your success in capturing the heart of Lord Westcliff was purely the result of your own magic, and the essential addition to the fragrance was, in fact, yourself.' " Laying the letter in her lap, Lillian grinned at her sister's annoyed expression. "Poor Daisy. I'm sorry that it wasn't real magic. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lisa Kleypas
The more we see ourselves as a vibrant, successful, inspiring person who boldly declares and manifests her vision, the more we become just that. ~ Kristi Bowman
Lillian Bowman quotes by Kristi Bowman
There are some who believe that perfume is magic. The fragrance of a thing is its purest essence. And certain scents can awaken phantoms of past love, of sweetest reminiscence."
"Phantoms?" Daisy repeated, intrigued, and the other girl replied impatiently.
"He doesn't mean it literally, dear. Perfume can't summon a ghost. And it's not really magic. It's only a mixture of scent particles that travel to the olfactory receptors in your nose. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lisa Kleypas
He says it's not good to complain about the things we can't change. ~ Akemi Dawn Bowman
Lillian Bowman quotes by Akemi Dawn Bowman
Things start out as hopes and end up as habits. ~ Lillian Hellman
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lillian Hellman
I can't altogether tell myself, Lillian. It's not wholly a matter of the calendar. It's the feeling that I've put a great deal behind me, where I can't go back to it again - and I don't really wish to go back. The way would be too long and too fatiguing. ~ Willa Cather
Lillian Bowman quotes by Willa Cather
The names Lillian Smith, Eric Dazey, Jon Bullock, and Clari Higginson may mean nothing to most people but the mean the world to me. Of all my years in school, these are the teachers who challenged me to get better everyday and whole-heartedly believed in my dreams. The support they gave me was priceless and life changing. ~ Robert Cheeke
Lillian Bowman quotes by Robert Cheeke
I'll be right back," she says, and as soon as she disappears into the next room, I feel like someone has yanked my social crutch out from under my arm. I'm floundering. All I can think about is Emery coming back so I can have someone to hide behind. ~ Akemi Dawn Bowman
Lillian Bowman quotes by Akemi Dawn Bowman
Since when do we have to agree with people to defend them from injustice? ~ Lillian Hellman
Lillian Bowman quotes by Lillian Hellman
When life throws you a curve ball just give up, no need messing around with that off speed shit ~ Bradley Bowman
