Famous quotes containing the words early, church and/or fathers:

—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Every church is a stone on the grave of a god-man: it does not want him to rise up again under any circumstances.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“This last pain for the damned the Fathers found:
“They knew the bliss with which they were not crowned.””
—William Empson (1906–1984)
