Held Private

Famous quotes containing the words held and/or private:

    I held my breath
    and daddy was there,
    his thumbs, his fat skull,
    his teeth, his hair growing
    like a field or a shawl.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    My gentleman gives the law where he is; he will outpray saints in chapel, outgeneral veterans in the field, and outshine all courtesy in the hall. He is good company for pirates, and good with academicians; so that it is useless to fortify yourself against him; he has the private entrance to all minds, and I could as easily exclude myself, as him.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
