Famous quotes containing the words goddess of, goddess and/or liberty:

    The Moon! Artemis! the great goddess of the splendid past of men! Are you going to tell me she is a dead lump?
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Tell me who is able to keep his bed chaste, or which goddess is able to live with one god alone?
    Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)

    Mutual repect implies discretion and reserve even in love itself; it means preserving as much liberty as possible to those whose life we share. We must distrust our instinct of intervention, for the desire to make one’s own will prevail is often disguised under the mask of solicitude.
    Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
