Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “Whenever a taboo is broken, something good happens, something vitalizing.... Taboos after all are only hangovers, the product of diseased minds, you might say, of fearsome people who hadn’t the courage to live and who under the guise of morality and religion have imposed these things upon us.”
    —Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    “It must appear impossible, that theism could, from reasoning, have been the primary religion of human race, and have afterwards, by its corruption, given birth to polytheism and to all the various superstitions of the heathen world. Reason, when obvious, prevents these corruptions: When abstruse, it keeps the principles entirely from the knowledge of the vulgar, who are alone liable to corrupt any principle or opinion.
    ”
    —David Hume (1711–1776)

    “Their religion was sweetness and peace amidst toil and tears.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
