Famous quotes containing the words christian and/or pilgrimage:

    I wouldn’t take the Pope too seriously. He’s a Pole first, a pope second, and maybe a Christian third.
    Muriel Spark (b. 1918)

    “Come hither, Son,” I heard Death say;
    “I did not will a grave
    Should end thy pilgrimage today,
    But I, too, am a slave!”
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
