Famous quotes containing the word nurse:
“I conjure thee, and all the oaths which I
And thou have sworn to seal joint constancy,
Here I unswear, and overswear them thus,
Thou shalt not love by ways so dangerous.
Temper, O fair Love, love’s impetuous rage,
Be my true Mistress still, not my feign’d Page;
I’ll go, and, by thy kind leave, leave behind
Thee, only worthy to nurse in my mind
Thirst to come back;”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
“She’s loose! She’ll tear the roof off!”
—Mark Hanna. Nathan Hertz. Nurse (Eileen Stevens)
“The intellectual damn
Will nurse your half-hurt. Quickly you are well.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
