William John Locke Quotes:

Ocupation: Novelist

Life: March 20, 1863 - May 15, 1930

Birthday: March 20

Death: May 15

It is not cheerful for a girl to discover within twenty-four hours of her wedding that her husband is a hopeless drunkard, and to see him die of delirium tremens within six weeks. An experience so vivid, like lightning must blast something in a woman's conception of life. Because one man's kisses reeked of whisky the kisses of all male humanity were anathema.
