Maiden Quotes

A simple maiden in her flower; Is worth a hundred coats-of-arms.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Such is the common process of marriage. A youth and maiden meeting by chance, or brought together by artifice, exchange glances, reciprocate civilities, go home, and dream of one another. Having little to divert attention, or diversify thought, they find themselves uneasy when they are apart, and therefore conclude that they shall be happy together. They marry, and discover what nothing but voluntary blindness had before concealed; they wear out life in altercations, and charge nature with cruelty.

Samuel Johnson

Anxiety is the hand maiden of creativity.

T. S. Eliot

Here's to the maiden of bashful fifteen; Here's to the widow of fifty; Here's to the flaunting, extravegant quean, And here's to the housewife that's thrifty. Let the toast pass - Drink to the lass; I'll warrant she'll prove an excuse for the glass.
