Famous quotes containing the words homer and/or heretic:
“In Homer and Chaucer there is more of the innocence and serenity of youth than in the more modern and moral poets. The Iliad is not Sabbath but morning reading, and men cling to this old song, because they still have moments of unbaptized and uncommitted life, which give them an appetite for more.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The heretic is always better dead. And mortal eyes cannot distinguish the saint from the heretic.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
