I've got a right to knock down anybody holding a bat.
Early Wynn

I've learned to try to sustain myself by holding on to the integrity of who I am. I'm not talking big diva. I'm quiet. I'm shy. And I became stronger when I stopped trying to be the person they wanted me to be.
Crystal Waters

I've never believed much in that holding hands kind of love. I've always thought that love is about two different personalities trying to confront life, trying to make sense of their responsibilities, to themselves, to each other, and to the wider society.

Janis Joplin

If my soccer career were over, I would still come here because of the people. And despite the fact I've had to skip some school for National Team purposes, I am looking forward to holding that Carolina degree as soon as I can get my hands on it.
Lorrie Fair

If you wish to be brothers, let the arms fall from your hands. One cannot love while holding offensive arms.

Phillip E. Johnson
