Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    This is one of the paradoxes of the democratic movement—that it loves a crowd and fears the individuals who compose it—that the religion of humanity should have no faith in human beings.
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

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

    A man has no religion who has not slowly and painfully gathered one together, adding to it, shaping it; and one’s religion is never complete and final, it seems, but must always be undergoing modification.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
