David Von Ancken

Famous quotes containing the words david and/or von:

    Love is the profoundest of secrets. Divulged, even to the beloved, it is no longer Love. As if it were merely I that loved you. When love ceases, then it is divulged.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We cannot assume the injustice of any actions which only create offense, and especially as regards religion and morals. He who utters or does anything to wound the conscience and moral sense of others, may indeed act immorally; but, so long as he is not guilty of being importunate, he violates no right.
    —Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
