Famous quotes containing the words love and/or god:
“Swann was one of those men who, having long lived in the illusions of love, saw the well-being that they gave to many women heighten their happiness without evoking in these women any gratitude, any tenderness toward them; but in their child these men believe they feel an affection which, embodied in their very name, will make them outlast their death. When there was to no longer be a Charles Swann, there would still be a Mademoiselle Swann ... who would continue to love her departed father.”
—Marcel Proust (18711922)
“Thus spoke the devil to me once: God too has his hell: that is his love of man. And most recently I heard him say this: God is dead; God died of his pity for man.”
