Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “It is manifest therefore that they who have sovereign power, are immediate rulers of the church under Christ, and all others but subordinate to them. If that were not, but kings should command one thing upon pain of death, and priests another upon pain of damnation, it would be impossible that peace and religion should stand together.”
    —Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    “As soon as a religion comes to dominate, it has as its opponents all those who would have been its earliest disciples.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

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