Transcendent

Famous quotes containing the word transcendent:

“When Catholicism goes bad it becomes the world-old, world-wide religio of amulets and holy places and priestcraft. Protestantism, in its corresponding decay, becomes a vague mist of ethical platitudes. Catholicism is accused of being too much like all the other religions; Protestantism of being insufficiently like a religion at all. Hence Plato, with his transcendent Forms, is the doctor of Protestants; Aristotle, with his immanent Forms, the doctor of Catholics.”
—C.S. (Clive Staples)

“... effective magic is transcendent nature ...”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

“Through love, through hope, and faith’s transcendent dower,
We feel that we are greater than we know.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
