Famous quotes containing the words eastern, orthodox and/or churches:

    “The more important the title, the more self-important the person, the greater the amount of time spent on the Eastern shuttle, the more suspicious the man and the less vitality in the organization.”
    —Jane O’Reilly, U.S. feminist and humorist. The Girl I Left Behind, ch. 5 (1980)

    “All orthodox opinion—that is, today, “revolutionary” opinion either of the pure or the impure variety—is anti-man.”
    —Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)

    “Good churches are not built by bad men; at least, there must be probity and enthusiasm somewhere in the society. These minsters were neither built nor filled by atheists.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
