Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “Not thou nor thy religion dost controule,
    The amorousnesse of an harmonious Soule,
    But thou would’st have that love thy selfe: As thou
    Art jealous, Lord, so I am jealous now,
    Thou lov’st not, till from loving more, thou free
    My soule: Who ever gives, takes libertie:
    O, if thou car’st not whom I love
    Alas, thou lov’st not mee.”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)

    “A strong argument for the religion of Christ is this—that offences against Charity are about the only ones which men on their death-beds can be made—not to understand—but to feel—as crime.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
