Famous quotes containing the words devotion and/or sun:

    I delight in men over seventy. They always offer one the devotion of a lifetime.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    And yet the sun pardons our voices still,
    And berries in the hedge
    Through all the nights of rain have come to the full,
    And death seems like long hills, a range
    We ride each day towards, and never reach.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
