Intimate

Famous quotes containing the word intimate:

“There is an intimate interdependence of intellect and morals.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Our true history is scarcely ever deciphered by others. The chief part of the drama is a monologue, or rather an intimate debate between God, our conscience, and ourselves. Tears, griefs, depressions, disappointments, irritations, good and evil thoughts, decisions, uncertainties, deliberations—all these belong to our secret, and are almost all incommunicable and intransmissible, even when we try to speak of them, and even when we write them down.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)

“The greatest part of intimate confidences proceed from a desire either to be pitied or admired.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
