Famous quotes containing the words centurion and/or card:
“When the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God and said, “Certainly this man was innocent.””
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 23:47.
“There is undoubtedly something religious about it: everyone believes that they are special, that they are chosen, that they have a special relation with fate. Here is the test: you turn over card after card to see in which way that is true. If you can defy the odds, you may be saved. And when you are cleaned out, the last penny gone, you are enlightened at last, free perhaps, exhilarated like an ascetic by the falling away of the material world.”
—Andrei Codrescu (b. 1947)
