Devotion

Famous quotes containing the word devotion:

    “We must cultivate our garden.
    Furia to God one day in seven allots;
    The other six to scandal she devotes.
    Satan, by false devotion never flammed,
    Bets six to one, that Furia will be damned.”
    —Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

    “Unconditional love also includes—the ardent desire to be abused: at that point it is a defiance directed against itself, and out of its devotion the very wish for self-annihilation finally arises: “Drown in this sea!””
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “I delight in men over seventy. They always offer one the devotion of a lifetime.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
