Famous quotes containing the word tender:

    “Eyes—the head’s chief of police. They watch and make mental notes. A blind person is like a city abandoned by the authorities. On sad days they cry. In these carefree times they weep only from tender emotions.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
