Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “There is not a greater paradox in nature,—than that so good a religion [as Christianity] should be no better recommended by its professors.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    “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)

    “Unless criticism refuses to take itself quite so seriously or at least to permit its readers not to, it will inevitably continue to reflect the finicky canons of the genteel tradition and the depressing pieties of the Culture Religion of Modernism.”
    —Leslie Fiedler (b. 1917)
