Famous quotes containing the words distinction, eastern, orthodox and/or theology:
“The word jealousy is often used as if it were synonymous with envy; but I think the distinction worth preserving. Jealousy is predominantly concerned with the fear of loss of something one possesses, envy with the wish to own something another possesses. Othello suffers from the fear that he has lost Desdemonas love. Iago suffers from envy of the position held by Cassio, to which he feels entitled.”
—Anthony Storr (b. 1920)
“Now Morn her rosy steps in th eastern clime
Advancing, sowed the earth with orient pearl.”
—John Milton (16081674)
“The gloomy theology of the orthodoxthe CalvinistsI do not, I cannot believe. Many of the notionsnay, most of the notionswhich orthodox people have of the divinity of the Bible, I disbelieve. I am so nearly infidel in all my views, that too, in spite of my wishes, that none but the most liberal doctrines can command my assent.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
“A theology whose god is a metaphor is wasting its time.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
