Opposing Offense

Famous quotes containing the words opposing and/or offense:

    The love between man and woman is the greatest and most complete passion the world will ever see, because it is dual, because it is of two opposing kinds.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    There is something in the breast of almost every man, which at bottom takes offense at the attentions of any other man offered to a woman, the hope of whose nuptial love he himself may have discarded. Fain would a man selfishly appropriate all the hearts which have ever in any way confessed themselves his.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
