Famous quotes containing the words oriental, orthodox and/or communion:

    “Behold the difference between the Oriental and the Occidental. The former has nothing to do in this world; the latter is full of activity. The one looks in the sun until his eyes are put out; the other follows him prone in his westward course.”
    —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)

    “O my Brothers! love your Country. Our Country is our home, the home which God has given us, placing therein a numerous family which we love and are loved by, and with which we have a more intimate and quicker communion of feeling and thought than with others; a family which by its concentration upon a given spot, and by the homogeneous nature of its elements, is destined for a special kind of activity.”
    —Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
