Famous quotes containing the words shirley and/or muldowney:

    The glories of our blood and state
    Are shadows, not substantial things;
    There is no armour against fate;
    Death lays his icy hand on kings:
    Sceptre and crown
    Must tumble down,
    And in the dust be equal made
    With the poor crooked scythe and spade.
    —James Shirley (1596–1666)

    Drag racing is a sport of egos, and it’s all male egos.
    —Shirley “Cha Cha” Muldowney (b. 1940)
