Save

Famous quotes containing the word save:

“Whate’er she meant by it, bury it with me,
For since I am
Love’s martyr, it might breed idolatry,
If into others’ hands these Reliques came;
As ‘twas humility
To afford to it all that a Soul can do,
So, ‘tis some bravery,
That since you would save none of me, I bury some of you.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)

“I had to kick their law into their teeth in order to save them.
However I have heard that sometimes you have to deal
Devilishly with drowning men in order to swim them to shore.
Or they will haul themselves and you to the trash and the fish beneath.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“Has the world ever been changed by anything save the thought and its magic vehicle the Word?”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
