Famous quotes containing the word devotion:

    “Unconditional love also includes—the ardent desire to be abused: at that point it is a defiance directed against itself, and out of its devotion the very wish for self-annihilation finally arises: “Drown in this sea!””
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “A lover without indiscretion is no lover at all. Circumspection and devotion are a contradiction in terms.”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in—that we do it to God, to Christ, and that’s why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.”
    —Mother Teresa (b. 1910)
