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)

    O night,
    you take the petals
    of the roses in your hand,
    but leave the stark core
    of the rose
    to perish on the branch.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
