Exercise Held

Famous quotes containing the words exercise and/or held:

    That all may be so, but when I begin to exercise that power I am not conscious of the power, but only of the limitations imposed on me.

    Indeed, my mother’s beautiful face still shone with youthfulness that night when she so softly held my hands and sought to stop my tears; but, precisely, it seemed to me that this should not have happened, her anger would have saddened me less than this new sweetness that my childhood had never known; it seemed to me that, with a hidden and impious hand, I had just traced the first wrinkle and made appear the first grey hair in her soul.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
