Hold

Famous quotes containing the word hold:

“The first time many women hold their tiny babies, they are apt to feel as clumsy and incompetent as any man. The difference is that our culture tells them they’re not supposed to feel that way. Our culture assumes that they will quickly learn how to be a mother, and that assumption rubs off on most women—so they learn.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)

“I hold any writer sufficiently justified who is himself in love with his theme.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)

“Before a man dies, hold back and call him not happy but lucky.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
