Usura slayeth the child in the womb It stayeth the young man's courting It hath brought palsey to bed, lyeth between the young bride and her bridegroom. (Ezra Pound)
Every time I read to her, it was like I was courting her, because sometimes, just sometimes, she would fall in love with me again, just like she had a long time ago. And that's the most wonderful feeling in the world. How many people are ever given that chance? To have someone you love fall in love with you over and over? View quote
Nicholas Sparks
If I was courting the Muslim vote, I wouldn't have put establishing the partnership ceremony at the forefront of my first term, would I? I go all around London advocating lesbian and gay rights. View quote

Dick Cavett
I do not know if 'Alice in Wonderland' was an original story - I was, at least, no conscious imitator in writing it - but I do know that, since it came out, something like a dozen story-books have appeared, on identically the same pattern. The path I timidly explored believing myself to be 'the first that ever burst into that silent sea' - is now a beaten high-road: all the way-side flowers have long ago been trampled into the dust: and it would be courting disaster for me to attempt that style again.

Petronius would take his free bread buns and run. I happened to know that since Petro had been elected to the watch he had never cast a vote. He believed a man on a public salary should be impartial. I didn't agree but I admired him being so stubborn in his eccentricities. Aufidius Crispus would be an unusual politician if he had allowed for such morality in the voters he was courting. View quote
Lindsey Davis
All things do go a courting, in earth, or sea, or air, God hath made nothing single but thee in His world so fair! View quote
Emily Dickinson
To confess to freedom, the highest habit; while so many are courting the powerful and look from below to the tyrants slowly crossing through the town, longing in envy to be seen in the crowd and to narrate their parenthood. Better to look on in serenity: the noise of triumph is like a polluted river. Better to decide and to act, at the service of the ready heart and oppose the anonymous world, uniting the individuals ever more in the * "thou.”. (Aldo Capitini)
Family trips of my childhood always began with a prayer. I suppose when one goes on vacation, one is courting death in some fashion, tying the morgue tags onto one's suitcase. But then, too, vacations are respites from death, from thoughts of death. I have sometimes wondered why friends under medical death sentences have undertaken arduous trips or undertaken arduous labors. To put some distance between themselves and death-the obvious answer.

Cate Blanchett
If the law tries to legislate our "yeses” and "noes” it will produce "the straitjacket generation” – a generation afraid to flirt, fearful of finding its love notes in a court suit. Date rape legislation will force suitors and courting to give way to courts and suing. View quote
