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)
