And I hereby distinctly and emphatically declare that I consider myself, and earnestly desire to be considered by others, as utterly divested, now and during the rest of my life, of any such rights, the barbarous relics of a feudal, despotic system.
Robert Dale Owen
And so, little by little, I gradually divested myself of pretty nearly all of the guest conducting I used to do, because I was at the same time working in the places like the Met, where I could work in this sort of depth.
James Levine

B. R. Ambedkar
It is an interesting question how far men would retain their relative rank if they were divested of their clothes.
Henry David Thoreau
Nothing is more desirable than to be released from an affliction, but nothing is more frightening than to be divested of a crutch.
James A. Baldwin
So long as I confine my thoughts to my own ideas divested of words, I do not see how I can be easily mistaken.
George Berkeley
