Deny

Famous quotes containing the word deny:

“What avails it that you are a Christian, if you are not purer than the heathen, if you deny yourself no more, if you are not more religious?

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It is beyond me.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

“No place of grace for those who avoid the face
No time to rejoice for those who walk among noise and deny the voice”
