Personal Sin

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or sin:

“... it is a rather curious thing to have to divide one’s life into personal and official compartments and temporarily put the personal side into its hidden compartment to be taken out again when one’s official duties are at an end.”

rocking you off. You break from me. I choose

and hand you off, trembling the selves we lose.
Go child, who is my sin and nothing more.”
