Famous quotes containing the word hold:
“Shallow. Doth she hold her own well?
Falstaff. Old, old, Master Shallow.
Shallow. Nay, she must be old, she cannot choose but be old,
certain she’s old.”

“He will hold thee, when his passion shall have spent its novel force,
Something better than his dog, a little dearer than his horse.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“I am fooling only myself when I say my mother exists now only in the photograph on my bulletin board or in the outline of my hand or in the armful of memories I still hold tight. She lives on in everything I do. Her presence influenced who I was, and her absence influences who I am. Our lives are shaped as much by those who leave us as they are by those who stay. Loss is our legacy. Insight is our gift. Memory is our guide.”
—Hope Edelman (20th century)
