Famous quotes containing the word gave:

    ‘Pure experience’ is the name I gave to the immediate flux of life which furnishes the material to our later reflection with its conceptual categories.
    William James (1842–1910)

    What we men share is the experience of having been raised by women in a culture that stopped our fathers from being close enough to teach us how to be men, in a world in which men were discouraged from talking about our masculinity and questioning its roots and its mystique, in a world that glorified masculinity and gave us impossibly unachievable myths of masculine heroics, but no domestic models to teach us how to do it.
    Frank Pittman (20th century)

    I gave up my shame,
    lost my virginity
    and became notorious
    for his sake.
    Dear Friend,
    this same man
    has now become
    a complete stranger.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
