Famous quotes containing the words priest and, priest and/or bishop:
“Freudianism is much more nearly a religion than a science, inasmuch as the relation between analyst and patient has a great deal in common with that between priest and communicant at confessional, and such ideas as the Oedipus complex, the superego, the libido, and the id exert an effect upon the converted which is almost identical with what flows to the devout Christian from godhead, trinity, grace, and immortality.”
—Robert Nisbet (b. 1913)
“The old priest Peter Gilligan
Was weary night and day;
For half his flock were in their beds,
Or under green sods lay.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The armored cars of dreams, contrived to let us do so many a dangerous thing.”
