Sustaining Grace

Famous quotes containing the words sustaining and/or grace:

    I mourn the safe and motherly old middle-class queen, who held the nation warm under the fold of her big, hideous Scotch-plaid shawl and whose duration had been so extraordinarily convenient and beneficent. I felt her death much more than I should have expected; she was a sustaining symbol—and the wild waters are upon us now.
    Henry James (1843–1916)

    love me still, but know not why!
    —Unknown. Love Not Me for Comely Grace (l. 8)
