Famous quotes containing the words saint, augustine and/or church:
“This Light inspires, and plays upon
The nose of Saint like Bag-pipe drone,
And speaks through hollow empty Soul,
As through a Trunk, or whisp’ring hole,
Such language as no mortal Ear
But spiritual Eve-droppers can hear.”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
“It is not the punishment but the cause that makes the martyr.”
—St. Augustine (354–430)
“Religion stands, the Church blocking the sun.”
—Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
