Famous quotes containing the words relieve and/or oneself:
“Quotations in my work are like wayside robbers who leap out armed and relieve the stroller of his conviction.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“Despair is the price one pays for setting oneself an impossible aim. It is, one is told, the unforgivable sin, but it is a sin the corrupt or evil man never practises. He always has hope. He never reaches the freezing-point of knowing absolute failure. Only the man of goodwill carries always in his heart this capacity for damnation.”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)
