Famous quotes containing the words relation to, relation and/or followers:

    “Science is the language of the temporal world; love is that of the spiritual world. Man, indeed, describes more than he explains; while the angelic spirit sees and understands. Science saddens man; love enraptures the angel; science is still seeking, love has found. Man judges of nature in relation to itself; the angelic spirit judges of it in relation to heaven. In short to the spirits everything speaks.”
    —HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    “The psychoanalysis of individual human beings, however, teaches us with quite special insistence that the god of each of them is formed in the likeness of his father, that his personal relation to God depends on his relation to his father in the flesh and oscillates and changes along with that relation, and that at bottom God is nothing other than an exalted father.”
    —Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)

    “A great man’s followers are accustomed to blinding themselves so they can sing his praises better.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
