Famous quotes containing the words cross and/or symbol:
“The point is to show who is the cross and who the crucified.”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
“A symbol is indeed the only possible expression of some invisible essence, a transparent lamp about a spiritual flame; while allegory is one of many possible representations of an embodied thing, or familiar principle, and belongs to fancy and not to imagination: the one is a revelation, the other an amusement.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
