Famous quotes containing the words christian and/or heritage:
“For your God of dream or devil
You will answer, not to me.
Talk about the pews and steeples
And the Cash that goes therewith!
But the souls of Christian peoples . . .
Chuck it, Smith!”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

—Thomas De Quincey (1785–1859)
