Famous quotes containing the words christopher marlowe, plays and/or marlowe:

    That perfect bliss and sole felicity,
    The sweet fruition of an earthly crown.
    Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)

    Language makes it possible for a child to incorporate his parents’ verbal prohibitions, to make them part of himself....We don’t speak of a conscience yet in the child who is just acquiring language, but we can see very clearly how language plays an indispensable role in the formation of conscience. In fact, the moral achievement of man, the whole complex of factors that go into the organization of conscience is very largely based upon language.
    Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)

    I count religion but a childish toy,
    And hold there is no sin but ignorance.
    —Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
