Famous quotes containing the word christ:

    This piece-bright paling shuts the spouse
    Christ home, Christ and his mother and all his hallows.
    Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    The North is full of tangled things and texts and aching eyes
    And dead is all the innocence of anger and surprise,
    And Christian killeth Christian in a narrow dusty room,
    And Christian dreadeth Christ that hath a newer face of doom,
    And Christian hateth Mary that God kissed in Galilee,
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    Odour of blood when Christ was slain
    Made all Platonic tolerance vain
    And vain all Doric discipline.
