Famous quotes containing the words places and/or worship:

    What greater light can be hoped for in the moral sciences? The subject part of mankind in most places might, instead thereof, with Egyptian bondage expect Egyptian darkness, were not the candle of the Lord set up by himself in men’s minds, which it is impossible for the breath or power of man wholly to extinguish.
    John Locke (1632–1704)

    You who were directionless, and thought it would solve everything if you found one,
    What do you make of this? Just because a thing is immortal
    Is that any reason to worship it? Death, after all, is immortal.
    But you have gone into your houses and shut the doors, meaning
    There can be no further discussion.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
