Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or sanctuary:

    “The three most important things a man has are, briefly, his private parts, his money, and his religious opinions.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    “There is immunity in reading, immunity in formal society, in office routine, in the company of old friends and in the giving of officious help to strangers, but there is no sanctuary in one bed from the memory of another. The past with its anguish will break through every defence-line of custom and habit; we must sleep and therefore we must dream.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
