Famous quotes containing the words relations with, relations and/or faiths:

    If one could be friendly with women, what a pleasure—the relationship so secret and private compared with relations with men. Why not write about it truthfully?
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    All of life and human relations have become so incomprehensibly complex that, when you think about it, it becomes terrifying and your heart stands still.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    Thou hast conquered, O pale Galilean; the world has grown grey from thy breath;
    We have drunken of things Lethean; and fed on the fullness of death.
    Laurel is green for a season, and love is sweet for a day;
    But love grows bitter with treason, and laurel outlives not May.
    Sleep, shall we sleep after all? for the world is not sweet in the
    end;
    For the old faiths loosen and fall, the new years ruin and rend.
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)
