Famous quotes containing the words parish and/or church:
“My stardust melody, the memory of love’s refrain.”
—Mitchell Parish (1901–1993)
“A church that can never have done with excommunicating Christ while it exists! Away with your broad and flat churches, and your narrow and tall churches! Take a step forward, and invent a new style of out-houses. Invent a salt that will save you, and defend our nostrils.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
