Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or persecution:
“When the soul drifts uncertainly between life and the dream, between the minds disorder and the return to cool reflection, it is in religious thought that we should seek consolation.”
—Gérard De Nerval (18081855)
“... social evils are dangerously contagious. The fixed policy of persecution and injustice against a class of women who are weak and defenseless will be necessarily hurtful to the cause of all women.”
—Fannie Barrier Williams (18551944)
