Famous quotes containing the word religion:
“This is one of the paradoxes of the democratic movementthat it loves a crowd and fears the individuals who compose itthat the religion of humanity should have no faith in human beings.”

“Not thou nor thy religion dost controule,
The amorousnesse of an harmonious Soule,
But thou wouldst have that love thy selfe: As thou
Art jealous, Lord, so I am jealous now,
Thou lovst not, till from loving more, thou free
My soule: Who ever gives, takes libertie:
O, if thou carst not whom I love
Alas, thou lovst not mee.”
—John Donne (15721631)
“... the average Catholic perceives no connection between religion and morality, unless it is a question of someone elses morality.”
—Mary McCarthy (19121989)
