Indefinite Leave

Famous quotes containing the words indefinite and/or leave:

“Freedom is but the possibility of a various and indefinite activity; while government, or the exercise of dominion, is a single, yet real activity. The longing for freedom, therefore, is at first only too frequently suggested by the deep-felt consciousness of its absence.”
—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)

“Pious Selinda goes to prayers,
If I but ask the favour;
And yet the tender fool’s in tears,
When she believes I’ll leave her.

Would I were free from this restraint,
Or else had hopes to win her;
Would she would make of me a saint,
Or I of her a sinner.”
—William Congreve (1670–1729)
