Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or sanctuary:

    “Divorce these days is a religious vow, as if the proper offspring of marriage.”
    —Tertullian (c. 150–230)

    “He took the props down used for propping open,
    And set them up again for propping shut,
    The widespread double doors two stories high.
    The advantage-disadvantage of these doors
    Was that tramp taking sanctuary there
    Must leave them unlocked to betray his presence.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
