Devotion

Famous quotes containing the word devotion:

    We must cultivate our garden.
    Furia to God one day in seven allots;
    The other six to scandal she devotes.
    Satan, by false devotion never flammed,
    Bets six to one, that Furia will be damned.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

    A lover without indiscretion is no lover at all. Circumspection and devotion are a contradiction in terms.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    Unconditional love also includes—the ardent desire to be abused: at that point it is a defiance directed against itself, and out of its devotion the very wish for self-annihilation finally arises: “Drown in this sea!”
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
