Famous quotes containing the word hold:
“The allurement that women hold out to men is precisely the allurement that Cape Hatteras holds out to sailors: they are enormously dangerous and hence enormously fascinating. To the average man, doomed to some banal drudgery all his life long, they offer the only grand hazard that he ever encounters. Take them away, and his existence would be as flat and secure as that of a moo-cow.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“It is not, nor it cannot come to good.
But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“The purpose of playing, whose end, both at the first and now,
was and is, to hold as twere the mirror up to nature: to show
virtue her feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and
body of the time his form and pressure.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
