Raise

Famous quotes containing the word raise:

    When we raise our children, we relive our childhood. Forgotten memories, painful and pleasurable, rise to the surface.... So each of us thinks, almost daily, of how our own childhood compares with our children’s, and of what our children’s future will hold.
    Richard Louv (20th century)

    Who is going to raise the dog’s tail if he doesn’t do it himself?
    —Estonian. Trans. by Ilse Lehiste (1993)

    I raise my pelvis to God
    so that it may know the truth of how
    flowers smash through the long winter.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
