Redemption

Famous quotes containing the word redemption:

“Industrial societies turn their citizens into image-junkies; it is the most irresistible form of mental pollution. Poignant longings for beauty, for an end to probing below the surface, for a redemption and celebration of the body of the world. Ultimately, having an experience becomes identical with taking a photograph of it.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

“Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 21:28.
