Famous quotes containing the word sacred:
“When a man’s life is destroyed or damaged by some wound or privation of soul or body, which is due to other men’s actions or negligence, it is not only his sensibility that suffers but also his aspiration toward the good. Therefore there has been sacrilege towards that which is sacred in him.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)

O Mary, marry earth, sea, air and fire;
Our sacred earth in our day is our curse.”
