Christianity/criticism

Famous quotes containing the words christianity and/or criticism:

“Wherever there are walls I shall inscribe this eternal accusation against Christianity upon them—I can write in letters which make even the blind see ...

—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“In criticism I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose nothing shall turn me.”
