Famous quotes containing the words christ and/or oxford:

    “Then to the third—a face nor child nor old, very calm,
    as of beautiful yellow-white ivory,
    Young man I think I know you—I think this face is the
    face of the Christ himself,
    Dead and divine and brother of all, and here again he lies.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “During the first formative centuries of its existence, Christianity was separated from and indeed antagonistic to the state, with which it only later became involved. From the lifetime of its founder, Islam was the state, and the identity of religion and government is indelibly stamped on the memories and awareness of the faithful from their own sacred writings, history, and experience.”
    —Bernard Lewis, U.S. Middle Eastern specialist. Islam and the West, ch. 8, Oxford University Press (1993)
