Letter "W" » wet nurse
«Somewhere in the brain of every prima donna there is a deep craving for security and comfort, linked with a fear of old age. This causes her to pick a man who is prepared to act as a permanent wet nurse.»
«Frustration is the wet nurse of violence.»
«[Monty] Woolley reduced the nurse in The Man Who Came to Dinner to the potency of a pound of wet Kleenex. It was probably the best thing that had happened to the art of the insult since the Medicis stopped talking in the 16th century.»
«The only jobs for which no man is qualified are human incubators and wet nurse. Likewise, the only job for which no woman is or can be qualified is sperm donor.»
«I repeat, sir, that in whatever position you place a woman she is an ornament to society and a treasure to the world. As a sweetheart, she has few equals and no superiors; as a cousin, she is convenient; as a wealthy grandmother with an incurable distemper, she is precious; as a wet-nurse, she has no equal among men. What, sir, would the people of the earth be without woman? They would be scarce, sir, almighty scarce.»
