Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or orders:
“I am always most religious upon a sunshiny day ...”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“There is nothing on earth more exquisite than a bonny book, with well-placed columns of rich black writing in beautiful borders, and illuminated pictures cunningly inset. But nowadays, instead of looking at books, people read them. A book might as well be one of those orders for bacon and bran.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
