Famous quotes containing the words time, world and/or champion:
“When her husband clutches at her dress,
she lowers her face,
her modesty aroused.
When he wants a wild embrace,
she shyly secrets away
her limbs.
She can’t say a word
and bestows her gaze
on her beaming friends.
A new wife suffers
with shame
the first time she makes love.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
“Let us be different in our homes. Let us realize that along with food, shelter, and clothing, we have another obligation to our children, and that is to affirm their “rightness.” The whole world will tell them what’s wrong with them—out loud and often. Our job is to let our children know what’s right about them.”
—Adele Faber (20th century)
“What a terrible thing has happened to us all! To you there, to us here, to all everywhere. Peace who was becoming bright-eyed, now sits in the shadow of death; her handsome champion has been killed as he walked by her very side. Her gallant boy is dead. What a cruel, foul, and most unnatural murder! We mourn here with you, poor, sad American people.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
