Fault Divorce

Famous quotes containing the words fault and/or divorce:

    This is a fault common to all singers, that among their friends they will never sing when they are asked; unasked, they will never desist.
    Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)

    Children of the same family, the same blood, with the same first associations and habits, have some means of enjoyment in their power, which no subsequent connections can supply; and it must be by a long and unnatural estrangement, by a divorce which no subsequent connection can justify, if such precious remains of the earliest attachments are ever entirely outlived.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)
