Famous quotes containing the word religion:

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

    “When Catholicism goes bad it becomes the world-old, world-wide religio of amulets and holy places and priestcraft. Protestantism, in its corresponding decay, becomes a vague mist of ethical platitudes. Catholicism is accused of being too much like all the other religions; Protestantism of being insufficiently like a religion at all. Hence Plato, with his transcendent Forms, is the doctor of Protestants; Aristotle, with his immanent Forms, the doctor of Catholics.”
    —C.S. (Clive Staples)
