Ritualistic Oracle

Famous quotes containing the words ritualistic and/or oracle:

    Protestantism came and gave a great blow to the religious and ritualistic rhythm of the year, in human life. Non-conformity almost finished the deed.... Mankind has got to get back to the rhythm of the cosmos, and the permanence of marriage.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: the way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
    Bible: Hebrew Proverbs, 30:18-19.

    From the oracle of Agur, son of Jakeh.
