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

    “From this elevation, just on the skirts of the clouds, we could overlook the country, west and south, for a hundred miles. There it was, the State of Maine, which we had seen on the map, but not much like that,—immeasurable forest for the sun to shine on, the eastern stuff we hear of in Massachusetts. No clearing, no house. It did not look as if a solitary traveler had cut so much as a walking-stick there.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

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

    “Here, the churches seemed to shrink away into eroding corners. They seem to have ceased to be essential parts of American life. They no longer give life. It is the huge buildings of commerce and trade which now align the people to attention. These in their massive manner of steel and stone say, Come unto me all ye who labour, and we will give you work.”
    —Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
