The door was locked - another difficult detail to explain away if we were caught inside. Sighing, I pulled my picks from my bag and got to work.
"To think," Watson said, "I used to wonder why girls carried purses."
"We need somewhere to keep our mace." I smiled as the lock shifted and gave under my hands. "Will you keep watch on the landing? Think of some suitable explanation if we're caught."
He leaned to look inside. "As long as your plan isn't to go out that window," he said, taking in the four-story view.
"My father trained me for every eventuality," I said, and left the door cracked as I slipped inside. ~ Brittany Cavallaro
Purses quotes by Brittany Cavallaro
It is not poverty so much as pretense that harasses a ruined man - the struggle between a proud mind and an empty purse - the keeping up of a hollow show that must soon come to an end. ~ Washington Irving
Purses quotes by Washington Irving
I tried to bend over and touch my toes this morning," I tell the girls. "I tipped over, hit my head on the desk, and then had to call for Nana to get up. I'm literally the size of an Oompa Loompa."

"You're the most beautiful Oompa Loompa in the world," Hope declares.

"Because she's not orange."

"Oompa Loompas were orange?" I try to conjure up a mental picture of them but can only recall their white overalls.

Carin purses her lips. "Were they supposed to be candies? Like orange slices? Or maybe candy corn?"

"They were squirrels," Hope informs us.

"No way," we both say at once.

"Yes way. I read it on the back of a Laffy Taffy when I was like ten. It was a trivia question and I'd just seen the movie. I was terrified of squirrels for years afterwards."

"Shit. Learn something new every day." I push my body upright, a task that takes a certain amount of upper body strength these days, and toddle over to inspect the crib.

"I don't believe you," Carin tells Hope. "The movie is about candy. It's called Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Since when are squirrels candies? I can buy into a bunny because, you know, the chocolate Easter bunnies, but not a squirrel."

"Look it up, Careful. I'm right."

"You're ruining my childhood." Carin turns to me. "Don't do this to your daughter."

"Raise her to believe Oompa Loompas are squirrels?"

"Yes ~ Elle Kennedy
Purses quotes by Elle Kennedy
The man possessed of a dollar, feels himself to be not merely one hundred cents richer, but also one hundred cents better, than the man who is penniless; so on through all the gradations of earthly possessions - the estimate of our own moral and political importance swelling always in a ratio exactly proportionate to the growth of our purse. ~ Frances Wright
Purses quotes by Frances Wright
I always have a Sharpie, because usually when someone asks me for an autograph, they don't have a pen. I carry one in my purse, as well as in my tennis bag. ~ Maria Sharapova
Purses quotes by Maria Sharapova
We've all had some level of injustice, whether 20 years in prison, or 20 minutes sitting in your car waiting for a police officer to determine your future. Or even a few moments in an elevator with some woman clutching her purse thinking you're going to rob her ¾ regardless of celebrity, that has happened to me. ~ Denzel Washington
Purses quotes by Denzel Washington
I think what it really is, is that I date creative people. And I think that what intimidates them is not my purse; it's my mind. ~ Lady Gaga
Purses quotes by Lady Gaga
DJs used to be American heroes. No more. Today, being a disk jockey is generally regarded as being slightly more respectable than snatching purses for a living, or robbing graves. ~ Larry Lujack
Purses quotes by Larry Lujack
Purses are dreamt up by artists, not architects. ~ Lauren Conrad
Purses quotes by Lauren Conrad
If you don't generate tension in the film to begin with ... you can't really make a purse out of a sow's ear, you know. ~ Dennis Weaver
Purses quotes by Dennis Weaver
If Los Angeles is a woman reclining billboard model and the San Fernando Valley is her teenybopper sister, then New York is their cousin. Her hair is dyed autumn red or aubergine or Egyptian henna, depending on her mood. Her skin is pale as frost and she wears beautiful Jil Sander suits and Prada pumps on which she walks faster than a speeding taxi (when it is caught in rush hour, that is). Her lips are some unlikely shade of copper or violet, courtesy of her local MAC drag queen makeup consultant. She is always carrying bags of clothes, bouquets of roses, take-out Chinese containers, or bagels. Museum tags fill her pockets and purses, along with perfume samples and invitations to art gallery openings. When she is walking to work, to ward off bums or psychos, her face resembles the Statue of Liberty, but at home in her candlelit, dove-colored apartment, the stony look fades away and she smiles like the sterling roses she has brought for herself to make up for the fact that she is single and her feet are sore. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Purses quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Compensation is counterintuitive: The more treasure you give away to those who serve well, the more treasure will return to you. But few people perceive this simple truth. Most try to keep as much as they can for themselves and give little away. That's why their purses refuse to fatten. ~ Toyotomi Hideyoshi
Purses quotes by Toyotomi Hideyoshi
This is meant to be in praise of the interval called hangover,
a sadness not co-terminous with hopelessness,
and the North American doubling cascade
that (keep going) "this diamond lake is a photo lab"
and if predicates really do propel the plot
then you might see Jerusalem in a soap bubble
or the appliance failures on Olive Street
across these great instances,
because "the complex Italians versus the basic Italians"
because what does a mirror look like (when it´s not working)
but birds singing a full tone higher in the sunshine.

I´m going to call them Honest Eyes until I know if they are,
in the interval called slam clicker, Realm of Pacific,
because the second language wouldn´t let me learn it
because I have heard of you for a long time occasionally
because diet cards may be the recovery evergreen
and there is a new benzodiazepene called Distance,

anti-showmanship, anti-showmanship, anti-showmanship.

I suppose a broken window is not symbolic
unless symbolic means broken, which I think it sorta does,
and when the phone jangles
what´s more radical, the snow or the tires,
and what does the Bible say about metal fatigue
and why do mothers carry big scratched-up sunglasses
in their purses.

Hello to the era of going to the store to buy more ice
because we are running out.
Hello to feelings that arrive unintroduced.
Hel ~ David Berman
Purses quotes by David Berman
He's very nice. He's something I replied. She considered this zipping her purse shut. Then she said Well everyone is. Everyone is Something. For some reason that stuck with me simple and yet not every since she'd said it. It was like a puzzle as well two vague words with one clear one between them. ~ Sarah Dessen
Purses quotes by Sarah Dessen
Nobody wants to know why Indian women leave or where they go. Our bodies walk across the highway from the dances of our youth into missing narratives without strobe lights or sweet drinks in our small purses, or the talk of leaving. The truth of our leaving or coming into the world is never told. ~ Terese Marie Mailhot
Purses quotes by Terese Marie Mailhot
Over the past two decades screens have proliferated, filling our purses, pockets, and bedside tables. The living room is no longer configured around a single blazing digital fireplace, the television; instead it flashes with decentralized brushfires: ereaders, tablets, laptops, desktops, smartphones, televisions, refrigerator screens. As for the radios and bookshelves that were supposed to vanish with the digitalization of the American home, they've stubbornly remained. ~ Virginia Heffernan
Purses quotes by Virginia Heffernan
Amadora was never far from her understanding of women, glamour, or the fine line between elegant and camp, vulgar and vibrant, life and dreams ... Color, she believed, was feminine. She said that women were masters of color, evidenced in changing their hair color, using eye shadow, mascara, powder, rouge, lipstick. You could see it in their jewelry- silvers and golds, gems, stones, pearls of every hue. It was in their clothing, from what they slept in to what they danced in. Their shoes. Their purses. Ribbons, barrettes, clips, and tiaras. Veils. All this color to enhance their sex appeal, while men, she felt, were ill-equipped to handle color with the same ease. ~ Whitney Otto
Purses quotes by Whitney Otto
I feed Volnay, who eats in her unusual way, delicately removing one piece of kibble at a time from her bowl, placing it on the little rug that serves as her dining room, and then eating it before going back in for a second piece of kibble. It takes her the better part of thirty minutes to finish her bowl. I'm sure if she had thumbs, she'd be patting her chin with a linen napkin after every morsel. When she finishes, she hits the water bowl. Silently. No one can figure out how she drinks, she sort of purses her lips and sucks, none of that slurping and splashing that accompany most dogs' drinking. She is a stealth drinker. When she finishes, she heads to her little bed in the corner of the kitchen to groom her fur a bit. Lovely girl. ~ Stacey Ballis
Purses quotes by Stacey Ballis
The Italians say that a beautiful woman by her smiles draws tears from our purse. ~ Nathaniel Parker Willis
Purses quotes by Nathaniel Parker Willis
Take a coin from your purse and invest it in your mind. It will come pouring out of your mind and overflow your purse. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Purses quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Who to patch up his fame, or fill his purse, Still pilfers wretched plans, and makes them worse; Like gypsies, lest the stolen brat be known, Defacing first, then claiming for his own. ~ Charles Churchill
Purses quotes by Charles Churchill
If it weren't for the law, I would steal books; if it weren't for my purse, I would buy them. ~ Harold Laski
Purses quotes by Harold Laski
Nothing is so intolerable as a woman with a long purse. ~ Juvenal
Purses quotes by Juvenal
The bashful beggar has an empty purse. ~ William Cranch Bond
Purses quotes by William Cranch Bond
Far more seemly to have thy study full of books, than thy purse full of money. ~ John Lyly
Purses quotes by John Lyly
The heart wants what the heart wants. Beyond common sense. Beyond higher reason. ~ Katy Regnery
Purses quotes by Katy Regnery
When we sink, we become a revolutionary proletariat, the subordinate officers of all revolutionary parties; at the same time, when we rise, there rises also our terrible power of the purse. ~ Theodor Herzl
Purses quotes by Theodor Herzl
We sat at long tables side by side in a big

dusty room where we laughed and carried

on until they told us to pipe down and paint.

The running joke was how we glowed,

the handkerchiefs we sneezed into lighting

up our purses when we opened them at night,

our lips and nails, painted for our boyfriends

as a lark, simmering white as ash in a dark room.

"Would you die for science?" the reporter asked us,

Edna and me, the main ones in the papers.

Science? We mixed up glue, water and radium

powder into a glowing greenish white paint

and painted watch dials with a little

brush, one number after another, taking

one dial after another, all day long,

from the racks sitting next to our chairs.

After a few strokes, the brush lost its shape,

and our bosses told us to point it with

our lips. Was that science?

I quit the watch factory to work in a bank

and thought I'd gotten class, more money,

a better life, until I lost a tooth in back

and two in front and my jaw filled up with sores.

We sued: Edna, Katherine, Quinta, Larice and me,

but when we got to court, not one of us

could raise our arms to take the oath.

My teeth were gone by then. "Pretty Grace

Fryer," they called me in the papers.

~ Eleanor Swanson
Purses quotes by Eleanor Swanson
People do not give from the top of their purses but from the bottom of their hearts. If you desire to become a more generous person do not change your income. Change your heart. ~ John C. Maxwell
Purses quotes by John C. Maxwell
Souls and purses, she thinks, these two are obsessed with souls and purses. ~ Jessie Burton
Purses quotes by Jessie Burton
Progress makes purses out of human skin. ~ Karl Kraus
Purses quotes by Karl Kraus
Back up. Let's assess the last thirty seconds, shall we? She hates purses. That means she didn't bring makeup. Which means she won't constantly be reapplying that shit like Val does. It also means she's not hiding a gallon of perfume anywhere on her person. And it also means she had no plans at all to offer to pay for her half of dinner, which seems a little old-fashioned, but for some reason I like it. ~ Colleen Hoover
Purses quotes by Colleen Hoover
Preferring to store her money in the stomachs of the needy rather than hide it in a purse. ~ St. Jerome
Purses quotes by St. Jerome
Guys are like purses,Cute, full of crap, and totally replaceable. ~ Lucy Miller
Purses quotes by Lucy Miller
The jingling of a fat purse always commands the world. ~ David Gerrold
Purses quotes by David Gerrold
It seems like only yesterday that savers were dorks. They kept piggy banks. They drove last year's cars. They fished in their change purses for nickels while the superstars flashed credit cards. Today, values have changed. The new object of veneration is not money on the hoof but money in the bank - and the dorks all have it. ~ Jane Bryant Quinn
Purses quotes by Jane Bryant Quinn
Money Chiefs, loud and long notes are not songs. Silent snow wets Earth, seeds grow, flowers' honey purses seek neither wealth nor power, and the forest's quiet wisdom needs no wind to blow. ~ Frederic M. Perrin
Purses quotes by Frederic M. Perrin
Debra pointed her purses lips in Max's direction. "Overnight guests are forbidden. No exceptions."
"Did you just have the audacity to judge me?" Gina blocked the nurse's route to the door. "Without knowing the least little thing about me?"
Debra lifted an eyebrow. "Well, I have seen your underwear, dear."
"Exactly," Gina said. "You've seen my underwear - not my personality profile, or my resume, or my college transcript, or - "
"If you think for one second," the nurse countered, "that anything about this situation is even remotely unique - "
"That's enough," Max said.
Gina, of course, ignored him. "I don't just think it, I know it," she said. "It's unique because I'm unique, because Max is unique, because - "
Debra finally laughed. "Oh, honey, you are so . . . young. Here's a tip I don't usually bother to tell girls like you: If I find one pair of panties on the floor, it's only a matter of time before I find another. And I hate to break it to you, hon, but the girl who comes out of the bathroom next time, well . . . She isn't going to be you."
"First of all," Gina said grimly, "I'm a woman, not a girl. And second, Grandma . . . You want to bet it's not going to be me?"
"I said, that's enough," Max repeated, and they both turned to look at him. About time. He was used to clearing his throat and having an entire room jump to full attention. "Ms. Forsythe, you took my blood pressure - you have the information you needed, good day to ~ Suzanne Brockmann
Purses quotes by Suzanne Brockmann
Every woman should have a purse of her own. ~ Susan B. Anthony
Purses quotes by Susan B. Anthony
A good prayer is master of anothers purse. ~ George Herbert
Purses quotes by George Herbert
I looked at the things people think they own. I didn't take things very often, but I liked to move them. Car keys, purses, glasses, one shoe out of a pair. The ~ Bryn Greenwood
Purses quotes by Bryn Greenwood
A little praise is not only merest justice but is beyond the purse of no one. ~ Emily Post
Purses quotes by Emily Post
The purse of the patient often protracts his case. ~ Johann Georg Ritter Von Zimmermann
Purses quotes by Johann Georg Ritter Von Zimmermann
For their love
Llies in their purses, and whoso empties them
By so much fills their hearts with deadly hate. ~ William Shakespeare
Purses quotes by William Shakespeare
Economy is too late when you are at the bottom of your purse. ~ Seneca The Younger
Purses quotes by Seneca The Younger
Progress celebrates victories over nature. Progress makes purses out of human skin. When people were traveling in mail coaches, the world got ahead better than it does now that salesmen fly through the air. What good is speed if the brain has oozed out on the way? How will the heirs of this age be taught the most basic motions that are necessary to activate the most complicated machines? Nature can rely on progress; it will avenge it for the outrage it has perpetrated on it. ~ Karl Kraus
Purses quotes by Karl Kraus
I'm so glad Courtney Love is here; I left my crack in my other purse. ~ Sarah Silverman
Purses quotes by Sarah Silverman
When moneys in a purse in my own pocket / It means wealth ... ~ Gertrude Stein
Purses quotes by Gertrude Stein
Thieves are always the most careful of their purses. ~ Robert Jordan
Purses quotes by Robert Jordan
I can get no remedy against this consumption of the purse: borrowing only lingers and lingers it out, but the disease is incurable. ~ William Shakespeare
Purses quotes by William Shakespeare
Do not speak glibly of virtue. Nothing shall change-nothing-so long as each individual awaits preferment rather than embodying beneficence in himself; so long as we wait upon the edicts of a government ruled by invested and interested men looking to their private purses; so long as we idle in expectation that all shall be healed, and that we shall somehow be stopped in our career of plunder by an eighteen-hundred-year-old mummy, scarred with the wounds of torture, falling out of the sky or stumbling out of the desert, eyes filled with the tears that we should weep ourselves. ~ M T Anderson
Purses quotes by M T Anderson
A lean purse is easier to cure than to endure. ~ George S. Clason
Purses quotes by George S. Clason
Never without a shilling in my purse. ~ Horace
Purses quotes by Horace
If you are gonna wear gloves when you lift, just make sure they match your purse. ~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
Purses quotes by Arnold Schwarzenegger
The purse is the mirror of the soul. ~ Anna Quindlen
Purses quotes by Anna Quindlen
Thieves at home must hang; but he that puts Into his overgorged and bloated purse The wealth of Indian provinces, escapes. ~ William Cowper
Purses quotes by William Cowper
Sex sells, but doesn't work so well as a strong-arm tactic. Give me your purse or I'll make out with you so hard. ~ Dov Davidoff
Purses quotes by Dov Davidoff
I love to see honest and honorable men at the helm, men who will not bend their politics to their purses, nor pursue measures by which they may profit, and then profit by their measures. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Purses quotes by Thomas Jefferson
A person's taste is as much his own peculiar concern as his opinion or his purse. ~ John Stuart Mill
Purses quotes by John Stuart Mill
Where might is, the right is:
Long purses make strong swords.
Let weakness learn meekness:
God save the House of Lords! ~ Algernon Charles Swinburne
Purses quotes by Algernon Charles Swinburne
A stomach without bread and a purse without gold have led to so many revolutions in history. ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Purses quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
Just as summer-killed meat draws flies, so the court draws spurious sages, philosophists, and acosmists who remain there as long as their purses and their wits will maintain them, in the hope (at first) of an appointment from the Autarch and (later) of obtaining a tutorial position in some exalted family. At sixteen or so, Thecla was attracted, as I think young women often are, to their lectures on theogony, thodicy, and the like, and I recall one particularly in which a phoebad put forward as an ultimate truth the ancient sophistry of the existence of three Adonai, that of the city (or of the people), that of the poets, and that of the philosophers. Her reasoning was that since the beginning of human consciousness (if such a beginning ever was) there have been vast numbers of persons in the three categories who have endeavored to pierce the secret of the divine. If it does not exist, they should have discovered that long before; if it does, it is not possible that Truth itself should mislead them. Yet the beliefs of the populace, the insights of the rhapsodists, and the theories of the metaphysicians have so far diverged that few of them can so much as comprehend what the others say, and someone who knew nothing of any of their ideas might well believe there was no connection at all between them.

May it not be, she asked (and even now I am not certain I can answer), that instead of traveling, as has always been supposed, down three roads to the same destination, t ~ Gene Wolfe
Purses quotes by Gene Wolfe
A woman will always be dependent until she holds a purse of her own. ~ Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Purses quotes by Elizabeth Cady Stanton
I watched women - thin, spare, alone-looking women who were older than me, always carrying parcels, bags, overstuffed leather purses. The light did something to their faces, laid them bare. As if on trains they wore the faces they had when alone. ~ Sara Majka
Purses quotes by Sara Majka
I do think vajazzles need to stop. The whole thing of glitter-ising your cell phone and your purse and your body needs to stop. ~ Kemp Muhl
Purses quotes by Kemp Muhl
Put your toong in your purse. ~ John Heywood
Purses quotes by John Heywood
It is amazing to me," said Bingley, "How young ladies can have patience to be so very accomplished as they all are."
"All young ladies accomplished? My dear Charles, what do you mean?"
"Yes, all of them, I think. They all paint tables, cover screens and net purses. I scarcely know any one who cannot do all this, and I am sure I never heard a young lady spoken of for the first time without being informed that she was very accomplished."
"Your list of the common extent of accomplishments," said Darcy, "has too much truth. The word is applied to many a woman who deserves it no otherwise than by netting a purse or covering a screen. But I am very far from agreeing with you in your estimation of ladies in general. I cannot boast of knowing more than half a dozen, in the whole range of my acquaintance, that are really accomplished."
"Nor I, I am sure." said Miss Bingley.
"Then," observed Elizabeth, "you must comprehend a great deal in your idea of an accomplished woman."
"Yes, I do comprehend a great deal in it."
"Oh! certainly," cried his faithful assistant, "no one can really be esteemed accomplished who does not greatly surpass knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing, and the modern languages, to deserve the word; and besides all this, she must possess a certain something in her air and manner of walking, the tone of her voice, her address and expressions, or the word will be but half deserved."
"All this she must possess," added Dar ~ Jane Austen
Purses quotes by Jane Austen
Your best investment is to pour your purse into your head, and no one can take it away from you. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Purses quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Not to oversee workmen is to leave them your purse open. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Purses quotes by Benjamin Franklin
You know what the best thing about purses was? They could carry around books. ~ Brittainy C. Cherry
Purses quotes by Brittainy C. Cherry
She reaches down into her bulging tote bag and pulls out a small plastic box with a hinged lid. It contains a round pill box with a threaded lid from which she tips out a vitamin pill, a fish-oil pill, and the enzyme tablet that lets her stomach digest milk. Inside the hinged plastic box she also carries packets of salt, pepper, horseradish, and hand-wipes, a doll size bottle of Tabasco sauce, chlorine pills for treating drinking water, Pepto-Bismol chews, and God knows what else. If you go to a concert, Bina has opera glasses. If you need to sit on the grass, she whips out a towel. Ant traps, a corkscrew, candles and matches, a dog muzzle, a penknife, a tiny aerosol can of freon, a magnifying glass - Landsman has seen everything come out of that overstuffed cowhide at one time or another. ~ Michael Chabon
Purses quotes by Michael Chabon
The past which you carry in your purse is a gift and a curse when you goin' head first. ~ Drake
Purses quotes by Drake
A good bargaine is a pick-purse.
[A good bargain is a pick-purse.] ~ George Herbert
Purses quotes by George Herbert
I want to see you.
Know your voice.
Recognize you when you
first come 'round the corner.
Sense your scent when I come
into a room you've just left.
Know the lift of your heel,
the glide of your foot.
Become familiar with the way
you purse your lips
then let them part,
just the slightest bit,
when I lean in to your space
and kiss you.
I want to know the joy
of how you whisper
more ~ Rumi
Purses quotes by Rumi
Royce Westmoreland stared at him with biting scorn. "I despise hypocrisy, particularly when it is coated with holiness."
"May I ask for a specific example?"
"Fat priests," Royce replied, "with fat purses, who lecture staving peasants on the dangers of gluttony and the merits of poverty. ~ Judith McNaught
Purses quotes by Judith McNaught
As it was, I couldn't escape the feeling that I was out of my element. I found myself thinking of a book I'd left half-read at home and wishing I'd stuck it in my purse so I could pull it out now. ~ Charlaine Harris
Purses quotes by Charlaine Harris
What if history was changed? slavery reversed
Would black ladies see white boys and clinch they purse? ~ Fredro Starr
Purses quotes by Fredro Starr
There was one painting, I remember, that showed a broad, clean sweep of sky and the ocean drawn out to the horizon, and the sand littered with seashells and crabs and mermaid's purses and bits of seaweed. A boy and girl were standing four feet apart, not facing each other, not acknowledging each other in any way, just standing,looking out at the water. I always liked that painting. I liked to think they had a secret. ~ Lauren Oliver
Purses quotes by Lauren Oliver
The Executive is charged officially in the Departments under it with the disbursement of the public money, and is responsible for the faithful application of it to the purposes for which it is raised. The Legislature is the watchful guardian over the public purse. It is its duty to see that the disbursement has been honestly made. ~ James Monroe
Purses quotes by James Monroe
Oh yes, am I a sodomite. Well, I've been with lads, so… yes."
She purses her lips, and I wish I hadn't been so forthright. "If you'd stop, Father might not be so rough on you, you know."
"Oh my, thank you for that earth-shattering wisdom. Can't believe I didn't think of that myself. ~ Mackenzi Lee
Purses quotes by Mackenzi Lee
You're never too fat for a new purse. ~ Nia Vardalos
Purses quotes by Nia Vardalos
Wealth, my son, should never be your goal in life. Your words are eloquent but they are mere words. True wealth is of the heart, not of the purse. ~ Og Mandino
Purses quotes by Og Mandino
Women's clutches are too small. I open my purse, and with some hydraulic force, a tampon shoots 12 feet into the air. ~ Kelly Ripa
Purses quotes by Kelly Ripa
WIZARD
Lost items found. Paranormal Investigations.
Consulting. Advice. Reasonable Rates.
No Love Potions, Endless Purses, or Other Entertainment. ~ Jim Butcher
Purses quotes by Jim Butcher
Arsene Wenger has got to unlock the purse strings ~ John Motson
Purses quotes by John Motson
The pouches under his eyes were like purses that contained the smuggled memories of a disappointing life. ~ Graham Greene
Purses quotes by Graham Greene
WHO'S GOT A TAMPON? I JUST GOT MY PERIOD, I will announce loudly to nobody in particular in a women's bathroom in a San Francisco restaurant, or to a co-ed dressing room of a music festival in Prague, or to the unsuspecting gatherers in a kitchen at a party in Sydney, Munich, or Cincinnati. Invariably, across the world, I have seen and heard the rustling of female hands through backpacks and purses, until the triumphant moment when a stranger fishes one out with a kind smile. No money is ever exchanged. The unspoken universal understanding is: Today, it is my turn to take the tampon. Tomorrow, it shall be yours. There is a constant, karmic tampon circle. It also exists, I've found, with Kleenex, cigarettes, and ballpoint pens. ~ Amanda Palmer
Purses quotes by Amanda Palmer
Overnight, our neighbors began to look at us differently. Maybe it was the little girl down the road who no longer waved to us from her farmhouse window. Or the longtime customers who suddenly disappeared from our restaurants and stores. Or our mistress, Mrs. Trimble, who pulled us aside one morning as we were mopping her kitchen and whispered into our ear, "Did you know that the war was coming?" Club ladies began boycotting our fruit stands because they were afraid our produce might be tainted with arsenic. Insurance companies canceled our insurance. Banks froze our bank accounts. Milkmen stopped delivering milk to our doors. "Company orders," one tearful milkman explained. Children took one look at us and ran away like frightened deer. Little old ladies clutched their purses and froze up on the sidewalk at the sight of our husbands and shouted out, "They're here!" And even though our husbands had warned us--They're afraid--still, we were unprepared. Suddenly, to find ourselves the enemy. ~ Julie Otsuka
Purses quotes by Julie Otsuka
Doctor, feel my purse. ~ Jane Ace
Purses quotes by Jane Ace
Balls are to men what purses are to women. ~ Sarah Jessica Parker
Purses quotes by Sarah Jessica Parker
Amen,' I exclaim, accidentally spitting out a Raisinet. I pick up the chocolate with a Kleenex and stuff it in my purse. Ten bucks says a month from now I'll have forgotten about it and will finally have said heart attack when I assume a rat shat in there. ~ Jen Lancaster
Purses quotes by Jen Lancaster
You don't touch the purse. The purse is sacrosanct. ~ Julie James
Purses quotes by Julie James
A light purse is a heavy curse. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Purses quotes by Benjamin Franklin
I'm competitive and I have a messy purse, but otherwise, I like people to think I'm a winner. ~ Jenny Slate
Purses quotes by Jenny Slate
Derek caught my arm again as I started to move
at this rate, it was going to be as sore as my injured one.
"Dog," he said, jerking his chin toward the fenced yard. "It was inside earlier."
Expecting to see a Doberman slavering at the fence, I followed his gaze to a little puff of white fur, the kind of dog women stick in their purses. It wasn't even barking, just staring at us, dancing in place.
"Oh, my God! It's a killer Pomeranian." I glanced up at Derek. "It's a tough call, but I think you can take him. ~ Kelley Armstrong
Purses quotes by Kelley Armstrong
You wake up in the morning, and lo! your purse is magically filled with twenty-four hours of the unmanufactured tissue of the universe of your life! It is yours. It is the most precious of possessions. ~ Arnold Bennett
Purses quotes by Arnold Bennett
It may safely be asserted that the art of war will soon be reduced to a simple question of expenditure and credit, and that the largest purse will be the strongest arm. ~ William Winwood Reade
Purses quotes by William Winwood Reade
A man inferior with the blade or with his thoughts can still so elevate himself," Entreri explained curtly, "if he can impart the belief that some god or other speaks through him. It is the greatest deception in all the world and one embraced by kings and lords, while the minor lying thieves on the streets or Calimport and other cities lose their tongues for so attempting to coax the purses of others. ~ R.A. Salvatore
Purses quotes by R.A. Salvatore
I'm a disorganized mess. My purse is gross: I once found a shoulder pad, string cheese, and a Christmas ornament in it! ~ Hoda Kotb
Purses quotes by Hoda Kotb
The world went on. People left and people died and people went to memorial services and put orange blocks of cheese into their purses. People confessed to you that they were hungry all the time. And then you got up in the morning and pretended that none of it had happened. ~ Kate DiCamillo
Purses quotes by Kate DiCamillo
