Hold

Famous quotes containing the word hold:

    You hold me up to the light in a way
    I should never have expected, or suspected, perhaps
    Because you always tell me I am you,
    And right. The great spruces loom.
    I am yours to die with, to desire.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    It isn’t that I want to hold the children here, it’s just that I worry about what our life will be like. I don’t know what we’ll talk about, just the two of us, after all these years.
    —Anonymous Parents. As quoted in Women of a Certain Age, by Lillian B. Rubin, ch. 2 (1979)

    ... the most grandiose result of the photographic enterprise is to give us the sense that we can hold the whole world in our heads—as an anthology of images.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
