Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or figures:
“... these great improvements of modern times are blessings or curses on us, just in the same ratio as the mental, moral, and religious rule over the animal; or the animal propensities of our nature predominate over the intellectual and moral. The spider elaborates poison from the same flower, in which the bee finds materials out of which she manufactures honey.”
—Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)
“She, while her lover pants upon her breast,
Can mark the figures on an Indian chest.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
