Held Private

Famous quotes containing the words held and/or private:

    Even he was abashed
    and I laughed
    and held him close
    when he went for the knot
    of my underclothes
    and I’d already untied it.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    For it is a fire that, kindling its first embers in the narrow nook of a private bosom, caught from a wandering spark out of another private heart, glows and enlarges until it warms and beams upon multitudes of men and women, upon the universal heart of all, and so lights up the whole world and all nature with its generous flames.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
