Famous quotes containing the words holds, braves and/or record:
“The allurement that women hold out to men is precisely the allurement that Cape Hatteras holds out to sailors: they are enormously dangerous and hence enormously fascinating. To the average man, doomed to some banal drudgery all his life long, they offer the only grand hazard that he ever encounters. Take them away, and his existence would be as flat and secure as that of a moo-cow.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“The brave man braves nothing, nor knows he of his bravery.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“One foot in each great ocean
Is a record stride or stretch.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
