Famous quotes containing the words sustaining and/or grace:

“In the event of an oxygen shortage on airplanes, mothers of young children are always reminded to put on their own oxygen mask first, to better assist the children with theirs. The same tactic is necessary on terra firma. There’s no way of sustaining our children if we don’t first rescue ourselves. I don’t call that selfish behavior. I call it love.”
—Joyce Maynard (20th century)

“I one of their least,
yet great and a goddess,
granted Pelius,
Love under the sea,
beauty, grace infinite.”
