Leave

Famous quotes containing the word leave:

    There might you have beheld one joy crown another, so and in such manner that it seemed sorrow wept to take leave of them, for their joy waded in tears.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    But waste was of the essence of the scheme.
    And all the good they did for man or god
    To all those flowers they passionately trod
    Was leave as their posterity one pod
    With an inheritance of restless dream.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Raising a daughter is an extremely political act in this culture. Mothers have been placed in a no-win situation with their daughters: if they teach their daughters simply how to get along in a world that has been shaped by men and male desires, then they betray their daughters’ potential But, if they do not, they leave their daughters adrift in a hostile world without survival strategies.
    Elizabeth Debold (20th century)
