Famous quotes containing the words holding and/or time:

    “A Roman divorced from his wife, being highly blamed by his friends, who demanded, “Was she not chaste? Was she not fair? Was she not fruitful?” holding out his shoe, asked them whether it was not new and well made. “Yet,” added he, “none of you can tell where it pinches me.””
    —Plutarch (c. 46–120 A.D.)

    “It is a time when one’s spirit is subdued and sad, one knows not why; when the past seems a storm-swept desolation, life a vanity and a burden, and the future but a way to death.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
