What is cling?

Famous quotes containing the word cling:

    Superstition, bigotry and prejudice, ghosts though they are, cling tenaciously to life; they are shades armed with tooth and claw. They must be grappled with unceasingly, for it is a fateful part of human destiny that it is condemned to wage perpetual war against ghosts. A shade is not easily taken by the throat and destroyed.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    The LORD will make the pestilence cling to you until it has consumed you...
    Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 28:21.

    We must cling to the belief that the incomprehensible is comprehensible; otherwise we would not continue to search.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
