Fallen/books

Famous quotes containing the words fallen and/or books:

“You who want to be justified by the law have cut yourselves off from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.”
—Bible: New Testament, Galatians 5:4.

“Learning is, in too many cases, but a foil to common sense; a substitute for true knowledge. Books are less often made use of as “spectacles” to look at nature with, than as blinds to keep out its strong light and shifting scenery from weak eyes and indolent dispositions.... The learned are mere literary drudges.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
