Famous quotes containing the words cattle and/or religion:

    Young steers become old cattle from that day,
    Electric limits to their widest senses.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Talk to me about the truth of religion and I’ll listen gladly. Talk to me about the duty of religion and I’ll listen submissively. But don’t come talking to me about the consolations of religion or I shall suspect that you don’t understand.
    —C.S. (Clive Staples)
