Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “My great religion is a belief in the blood, the flesh, as being wiser than the intellect. We can go wrong in our minds. But what our blood feels and believes and says, is always true. The intellect is only a bit and a bridle.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “When Religion and Royalty are swept away, the people will attack the great, and after the great, they will fall upon the rich.”
    —Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

    “A heroic figure ... not wholly to blame for the religion that’s been foisted on him.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
