Famous quotes containing the words pagan and/or priest:

    The great pagan world of which Egypt and Greece were the last living terms ... once had a vast and perhaps perfect science of its own, a science in terms of life. In our era this science crumbled into magic and charlatanry. But even wisdom crumbles.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Embraces are cominglings from the head even to the feet,
    And not a pompous high priest entering by a secret place.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
