Famous quotes containing the word bear:

    “I, being born a woman and distressed
    By all the needs and notions of my kind,
    Am urged by your propinquity to find
    Your person fair, and feel a certain zest
    To bear your body’s weight upon my breast:”
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
