Church of St Edward The Martyr

Famous quotes containing the words church, edward and/or martyr:

    It is manifest therefore that they who have sovereign power, are immediate rulers of the church under Christ, and all others but subordinate to them. If that were not, but kings should command one thing upon pain of death, and priests another upon pain of damnation, it would be impossible that peace and religion should stand together.
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    Sometimes we have to go through the darkness alone, before we can see the light.
    —Adele Comandini. Edward Sutherland. Michael O’Brien (Charles Winninger)

    He took up his pen, which seemed to parch like a martyr in his hand. He began to write, nevertheless, addressing the nine-and-ninety lies of the moment he hoped with for a night of saloperie at the side of the twisted strumpet, Fiction, who lasciviously rolled her eyes at him, hiked up her skirt, and beckoned him on.
    Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
