Tender

Famous quotes containing the word tender:

“Pious Selinda goes to prayers,
If I but ask the favour;
And yet the tender fool’s in tears,
When she believes I’ll leave her.

Would I were free from this restraint,
Or else had hopes to win her;
Would she would make of me a saint,
Or I of her a sinner.”
—William Congreve (1670–1729)

“This is my letter to the World
That never wrote to Me—
The simple News that Nature told—
With tender Majesty.”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

“In a separation it is the one who is not really in love who says the more tender things.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
