Hold

Famous quotes containing the word hold:

    You expect far too much of a first sentence. Think of it as analogous to a good country breakfast: what we want is something simple, but nourishing to the imagination. Hold the philosophy, hold the adjectives, just give us a plain subject and verb and perhaps a wholesome, nonfattening adverb or two.
    Larry McMurtry (b. 1936)

    What? for I know not yet what you will say.
    alc: Nor will you ever, if you interrupt.
    Proceed, and I will hold my speechless tongue.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    Often I am permitted to return to a meadow
    as if it were a given property of the mind
    that certain bounds hold against chaos,

    that is a place of first permission,
    everlasting omen of what is.
    Robert Duncan (b. 1919)
