Famous quotes containing the words spiritual and/or dignity:
“Whenever we encounter the Infinite in man, however imperfectly understood, we treat it with respect. Whether in the synagogue, the mosque, the pagoda, or the wigwam, there is a hideous aspect which we execrate and a sublime aspect which we venerate. So great a subject for spiritual contemplation, such measureless dreaming—the echo of God on the human wall!”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“There is no dignity in wickedness, whether in purple or rags; and hell is a democracy of devils, where all are equals.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
