Hold

Famous quotes containing the word hold:

“Poetry is important. No less than science, it seeks a hold upon reality, and the closeness of its approach is the test of its success.”
—Babette Deutsch (1895–1982)

“I hold that it is true that dreams are faithful interpreters of our drives; but there is an art to sorting and understanding them.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

“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)
