Famous quotes containing the word gave:

    “Chanuka and St. Nicholas Day came almost together this year—just one day’s difference. We didn’t make much fuss about Chanuka: we just gave each other a few little presents and then we had the candles. Because of the shortage of candles we only had them alight for ten minutes, but it is all right as long as you have the song.”
    —Anne Frank (1929–1945)

    “I gave him the lead gift in the twilight. What fell was relaxed,
    Owl-downy, soft feminine feathers; but what
    Soared: the fierce rush: the night-herons by the flooded river cried
    fear at its rising
    Before it was quite unsheathed from reality.”
    —Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    “Perfect soldier, perfect gentleman ... never gave offence to anyone, not even the enemy.”
    —A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)
