It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.
Charles DickensTags: last-words self-sacrifice
Akin to the idea that time is money is the concept, less spoken but as commonly assumed, that we may be adequately represented by money. The giving of money has thus become our characteristic virtue. But to give is not to do. The money is given in lieu of action, thought, care, time.

The most sublime act is to set another before you.
William BlakeTags: self-sacrifice
I have been astonished that men could die martyrs
for their religion--
I have shuddered at it,
I shudder no more.
I could be martyred for my religion.
Love is my religion
and I could die for that.
I could die for you.
My Creed is Love and you are its only tenet.

Shel SilversteinTags: self-sacrifice
I love you," he whispered, and that was the moment he knew what he was going to do. When you loved someone, you put their needs before your own. No matter how inconceivable those needs were; no matter how fucked up; no matter how much it made you feel like you were ripping yourself into pieces.

Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self.

When you love you wish to do things for. You wish to sacrifice for. You wish to serve.

How far should a person go in the name of true love?

If you stay, I'll do whatever you want. I'll quit the band, go with you to New York. But if you need me to go away, I'll do that, too. I was talking to Liz and she said maybe coming back to your old life would be too painful, that maybe it'd be easier for you to erase us. And that would suck, but I'd do it. I can lose you like that if I don't lose you today. I'll let you go. If you stay.
