Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or services:

    his lips meet mine, and a flood
    Of sweet fire sweeps across me, so I drown
    Against him, die and find death good.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    I see this evident, that we willingly accord to piety only the services that flatter our passions.
