Mutual Imprecations

Famous quotes containing the words mutual and/or imprecations:

    What men call friendship is no more than a partnership, a mutual care of interests, an exchange of favors—in a word, it is a sort of traffic, in which self-love ever proposes to be the gainer.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    The Westerly Wind asserting his sway from the south-west quarter is often like a monarch gone mad, driving forth with wild imprecations the most faithful of his courtiers to shipwreck, disaster, and death.
    Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
