Famous quotes containing the words holding and/or time:

    “The best part of myself, that’s what you are. Do you think I’m going to leave it to the vulgar pawing of a second-rate detective who thinks you’re a “dame”? Do you think I could bear the thought of him holding you in his arms, kissing you, loving you?”
    —Jay Dratler, U.S. screenwriter, Samuel Hoffenstein (1889–1947)

    “The writer who loses his self-doubt, who gives way as he grows old to a sudden euphoria, to prolixity, should stop writing immediately: the time has come for him to lay aside his pen.”
    —Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
