Greater Mysteries

Famous quotes containing the words greater and/or mysteries:

“Since I am a man, my heart is three or four times less sensitive, because I have three or four times as much power of reason and experience of the world—a thing which you women call hard-heartedness. As a man, I can take refuge in having mistresses. The more of them I have, and the greater the scandal, the more I acquire reputation and brilliance in society.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)

“In the Church, considered as a social organism, the mysteries inevitably degenerate into beliefs.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
