Famous quotes containing the words contrition and/or nature:
“I shall never send for a priest or recite an Act of Contrition in my last moments. I do not mind if I lose my soul for all eternity. If the kind of God exists Who would damn me for not working out a deal with Him, then that is unfortunate. I should not care to spend eternity in the company of such a person.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“For as the eyes of bats are to the blaze of day, so is the reason in our soul to the things which are by nature most evident of all.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
