Bearing

Famous quotes containing the word bearing:

    “New York, home of the vivisectors of the mind, and of the mentally vivisected still to be reassembled, of those who live intact, habitually wondering about their states of sanity, and home of those whose minds have been dead, bearing the scars of resurrection.”
    —Muriel Spark (b. 1918)

    “What makes the pain we feel from shame and jealousy so cutting is that vanity can give us no assistance in bearing them.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.”

    But in a later context, God told the disgraced Adam, “and thou shalt eat the herb of the field” (Genesis 3:18)
