Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “I fancy it must be the quantity of animal food eaten by the English which renders their character insusceptible of civilisation. I suspect it is in their kitchens and not in their churches that their reformation must be worked, and that Missionaries of that description from [France] would avail more than those who should endeavor to tame them by precepts of religion or philosophy.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

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