Famous quotes containing the word revelation:
“The revelation of Thought takes men out of servitude into freedom.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“One revelation has been made to the Indian, another to the white man.”

“In a symbol there is concealment and yet revelation: here therefore, by silence and by speech acting together, comes a double significance.... In the symbol proper, what we can call a symbol, there is ever, more or less distinctly and directly, some embodiment and revelation of the Infinite; the Infinite is made to blend itself with the Finite, to stand visible, and as it were, attainable there. By symbols, accordingly, is man guided and commanded, made happy, made wretched.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
