"I had only two offers of marriage in my life, and I refused both." ― Catherine Helen Spence Topic(s): Marriage More From Catherine Helen Spence "After the break up of the municipality and the loss of his income my father lost health and spirits." "I count myself well educated, for the admirable woman at the head of the school which I attended from the age of four and a half till I was thirteen and a half, was a born teacher in advance of her own times." More In Marriage "I grew up in a Hindu household but went to a Roman Catholic school. I grew up with a mother who said, ‘I’ll arrange a marriage for you at 18,’ but she also said that we could achieve anything we put our minds to an encourage us to dream of becoming prime minister or president."― Indra Nooyi "When you translate poetry in particular, you’re obliged to look at how the writer with whom you’re working puts together words, sentences, phrases, the triple tension between the line of verse, the syntax and the sentence."― Marilyn Hacker "I have a very intense marriage."― James Ellroy
