Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or views:

    “Divorce these days is a religious vow, as if the proper offspring of marriage.”
    —Tertullian (c. 150–230)

    “Parents must begin to discover their children as individuals of developing tastes and views and so help them be, and see, themselves as thinking, feeling people. It is far too easy for a middle-years child to absorb an over-simplified picture of himself as a sloppy, unreliable, careless, irresponsible, lazy creature and not much more—an attitude toward himself he will carry far beyond these years.”
    —Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
