Famous quotes containing the words care, maintenance and/or captivity:

    “Still, I am prepared for this voyage, and for anything else you may care to mention.
    Not that I am not afraid, but there is very little time left.
    You have probably made travel arrangements, and know the feeling.
    Suddenly, one morning, the little train arrives in the station, but oh, so big
    It is! Much bigger and faster than anyone told you.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “It is an injustice that an old, broken, half-dead father should enjoy alone, in a corner of his hearth, possessions that would suffice for the advancement and maintenance of many children.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “Had it pleased heaven
    To try me with affliction, had they rained
    All kind of sores and shames on my bare head,
    Steeped me in poverty to the very lips,
    Given to captivity me and my utmost hopes,
    I should have found in some place of my soul
    A drop of patience.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
