Famous quotes containing the words gave and/or rise:
“He held the world upon his nose
And this-a-way he gave a fling.
His robes and symbols, ai-hi-hi
And that-a-way he twirled the thing.
Sombre as fir-trees, liquid cats
Moved in the grass without a sound.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Compassion brings us to a stop, and for a moment we rise above ourselves.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
