Famous quotes containing the words employees and/or injured:
“Exporting Church employees to Latin America masks a universal and unconscious fear of a new Church. North and South American authorities, differently motivated but equally fearful, become accomplices in maintaining a clerical and irrelevant Church. Sacralizing employees and property, this Church becomes progressively more blind to the possibilities of sacralizing person and community.”
—Ivan Illich (b. 1926)
“To give birth is a fearsome thing; there is no hating the child one has borne even when injured by it.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
