Famous quotes containing the word babe:

    “Is the babe young? When I behold it, it seems more venerable than the oldest man.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “It’s babe feminism—we’re young, we’re fun, we do what we want in bed—and it has a shorter shelf life than the feminism of sisterhood. I’ve been a babe, and I’ve been a sister. Sister lasts longer.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    “An’ when the earth’s as cauld’s the mune
    An’ a’ its folk are lang syne deid,
    On coontless stars the Babe maun cry
    An’ the Crucified maun bleed.”
    —Hugh MacDiarmid (1892–1978)
