Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or altars:
“I haven’t much opinion of words.... They’re apt to set fire to a dry tongue, that’s what I say.”

“Goddesses never die. They slip in and out of the world’s cities, in and out of our dreams, century after century, answering to different names, dressed differently, perhaps even disguised, perhaps idle and unemployed, their official altars abandoned, their temples feared or simply forgotten.”
—Phyllis Chesler (b. 1941)
