Famous quotes containing the word brave:
“There arent any good, brave causes left. If the big bang does come, and we all get killed off, it wont be in aid of the old-fashioned grand design. Itll just be for the Brave New-nothing-very-much-thank-you. About as pointless and inglorious as stepping in front of a bus. No, theres nothing left for it, me boy, but to let yourself be butchered by the women.”
—John Osborne (19291994)
“Your death, dear Lady, was quite cold
For all the brave tears and ultimate spasm.
So civilized were your thin hands, I marvel
They too, like jelly fishes, came from protoplasm.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
“Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything its cracked up to be. Thats why people are so cynical about it.... It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you dont risk anything, you risk even more.”
—Erica Jong (b. 1942)
