Devotion

Famous quotes containing the word devotion:

“I have never doubted your courage and devotion to the cause. But you have just lost a Division, and prima facie the fault is upon you; and while that remains unchanged, for me to put you in command again, is to justly subject me to the charge of having put you there on purpose to have you lose another.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

“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)

“Often devotion to virtue arises from sated desire.”
—Laurence Hope (1865–1904)
