Famous quotes containing the words british, orthodox and/or church:

    “Like the British Constitution, she owes her success in practice to her inconsistencies in principle.”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “All orthodox opinion—that is, today, “revolutionary” opinion either of the pure or the impure variety—is anti-man.”
    —Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)

    “A State, in idea, is the opposite of a Church. A State regards classes, and not individuals; and it estimates classes, not by internal merit, but external accidents, as property, birth, etc. But a church does the reverse of this, and disregards all external accidents, and looks at men as individual persons, allowing no gradations of ranks, but such as greater or less wisdom, learning, and holiness ought to confer. A Church is, therefore, in idea, the only pure democracy.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
