Quotes with fidelity

  • Total loyalty is possible only when fidelity is emptied of all concrete content, from which changes of mind might naturally arise.
  • What a fuss people make about fidelity! Why, even in love it is purely a question for physiology. It has nothing to do with our own will. Young men want to be faithful, and are not; old men want to be faithless, and cannot: that is all one can say.
