Secular Shows

Famous quotes containing the words secular and/or shows:

“... the generation of the 20’s was truly secular in that it still knew its theology and its varieties of religious experience. We are post-secular, inventing new faiths, without any sense of organizing truths. The truths we accept are so multiple that honesty becomes little more than a strategy by which you manage your tendencies toward duplicity.”
—Ann Douglas (b. 1942)

“... the intellect, everywhere invasive, shows everywhere its shallowing effect.”
—William James (1842–1910)
