Famous quotes containing the word bear:

    Immortal is the moment when I engendered the recurrence. For the sake of this moment I bear the recurrence.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Women’s Liberation is just a lot of foolishness. It’s the men who are discriminated against. They can’t bear children. And no one’s likely to do anything about that.
    Golda Meir (1898–1978)

    I hid my love when young till I
    Couldn’t bear the buzzing of a fly;
    I hid my life to my despite
    Till I could not bear to look at light:
    I dare not gaze upon her face
    But left her memory in each place;
    Where’er I saw a wild flower lie
    I kissed and bade my love good-bye.
    John Clare (1793–1864)
