  • What I like about the Order of the Garter is that there is no damned merit about it. -- William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne
  • All I have to be thankful for in this world is that I was sitting down when my garter busted. -- Dorothy Parker
  • Men are monopolists of "stars, garters, buttons and other shining baubles"- unfit to be the guardians of another person's happiness. -- Marianne Moore
  • I really think that it's better to retire, in Uncle Earl's terms, when you still have some snap left in your garters. -- Russell B. Long
  • My worst memory is of my first dance lesson as a 14-year old in Prague. My mother put me in this silver and pink lame dress. My hair was all curled, and it was the first time I wore a garter belt. I felt so out of place! -- Martina Navratilova
  • It is the highest and most legitimate pride of an Englishman to have the letters M.P. written after his name. No selection from the alphabet, no doctorship, no fellowship, be it of ever so learned or royal a society, no knightship,--not though it be of the Garter,--confers so fair an honour. -- Anthony Trollope
  • Behold the child, by Nature's kindly law, Pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw; Some livelier plaything gives his youth delight, A little louder, but as empty quite; Scarfs, garters, gold, amuse his riper stage, And beads and prayer-books are the toys of age. Pleased with this bauble still, as that before, Till tired he sleeps, and life's poor play is o'er. -- Alexander Pope
  • Knitting is formed by a series of loops pulled through loops to the end of time or to 'desired length'. By picking up loops and working in the opposite direction you are really picking up the concavities between the loops, and it is sheer unexpected witchcraft that stocking stitch and garter stitch will permit such an anomaly. Be grateful for this and don't expect anymore. -- Elizabeth Zimmermann
  • He had relieved whores beyond counting of frocks, stays, chemises, garters, and stockings. He had never before in his life unbuttoned a gently bred maiden's glove. He'd committed salacious acts beyond number. He'd never before felt so depraved as he did now, as the last pearl came free and he drew the soft kid down, baring her wrist, and his dark fingers grazed the delicate skin he'd exposed. -- Loretta Chase
  • Luckily there were no venomous snakes around Hoosick, N.Y., so I amassed quite a collection of milk snakes, garters, ribbons and ring-necked snakes. -- Romulus Whitaker
