Brought

Famous quotes containing the word brought:

    The world ‘s a bubble, and the life of man
    Less then a span:
    In his conception wretched, from the womb
    So to the tomb;
    Curst from his cradle, and brought up to years
    With cares and fears.
    Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

    Mrs. Hall, of Sherborne, was brought to bed yesterday of a
    dead child, some weeks before she was expected, owing to a
    fright. I suppose that she happened unawares to look at her
    husband.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    To punish drug takers is like a drunk striking the bleary face it sees in the mirror. Drugs will not be brought under control until society itself changes, enabling men to use them as primitive man did: welcoming the visions they provided not as fantasies, but as intimations of a different, and important, level of reality.
    Brian Inglis (b. 1916)
