Famous quotes containing the word indifferent:

Seem all of paradise that we shall know?

A part of labor and a part of pain,
And next in glory to enduring love,
Not this dividing and indifferent blue.”

—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“All I desire for my own burial, is not to be buried alive; but how or where, I think, must be entirely indifferent to every rational creature.”
