Famous quotes containing the words commanded and/or detachment:
“O wearisome condition of humanity!
Born under one law, to another bound;
Vainly begot, and yet forbidden vanity,
Created sick, commanded to be sound.
What meaneth nature by these diverse laws?
Passion and reason self-division cause.”
—Fulke Greville (1554–1628)
“There is no detachment where there is no pain. And there is no pain endured without hatred or lying unless detachment is present too.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
