Famous quotes containing the word gave:
“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)
“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.)
“At great periods you have always felt, deep within you, the temptation to commit suicide. You gave yourself to it; breached your own defenses. You were a child. The idea of suicide was a protest against life; by dying, you would escape this longing for death.”
—Cesare Pavese (1908–1950)
