Holy Virgin

Famous quotes containing the words holy and/or virgin:

“Here in this holy wood,
behold,
behold how good
is man’s inventiveness.”

“If it were worth while to argue a paradox, one might maintain that nature regards the female as the essential, the male as the superfluity of her world. Perhaps the best starting-point for study of the Virgin would be a practical acquaintance with bees, and especially with queen bees.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
