Famous quotes containing the words support and/or detachment:
“Surely, ‘tis one step towards acting well, to think worthily of our nature; and as in common life, the way to make a man honest, is, to suppose him so ... so here, to set some value upon ourselves, enables us to support the character ... of generosity and virtue.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“There is no detachment where there is no pain. And there is no pain endured without hatred or lying unless detachment is present too.”
