Sacred Evil

Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or evil:

    “See how the sacred old flamingoes come,
    Painting with shadow all the marble steps:
    Aged and wise, they seek their wonted perches
    Within the temple, devious walking, made
    To wander by their melancholy minds.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Ephesians 6:11-12.
