Famous quotes containing the word religion:
“The proper office of religion is to regulate the heart of men, humanize their conduct, infuse the spirit of temperance, order, and obedience; and as its operation is silent, and only enforces the motives of morality and justice, it is in danger of being overlooked, and confounded with these other motives.”
—David Hume (17111776)
“A man has no religion who has not slowly and painfully gathered one together, adding to it, shaping it; and ones religion is never complete and final, it seems, but must always be undergoing modification.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“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 hadnt the courage to live and who under the guise of morality and religion have imposed these things upon us.”
—Henry Miller (18911980)
