Famous quotes containing the words table and/or religions:

    “When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Luke 24:30,31.

    The Emmaus story.

    “It is a quite remarkable fact that the great religions of the most civilized peoples are more deeply fraught with sadness than the simpler beliefs of earlier societies. This certainly does not mean that the current of pessimism is eventually to submerge the other, but it proves that it does not lose ground and that it does not seem destined to disappear.”
    —Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
