Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “The only human beings I have thoroughly admired and respected in the world have been those who carried the load of the world with a smile, and who, in the face of anxieties that would have knocked me clean out, never showed a tremor. Such men and women end by owning us, soul and body, and our allegiance can never be shaken. We are only too glad to be owned. Religion is nothing but this.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    “Existentialism is about being a saint without God; being your own hero, without all the sanction and support of religion or society.”
    —Anita Brookner (b. 1938)
