Famous quotes containing the words original and/or members:

    The world is forever babbling of originality; but there never yet was an original man, in the sense intended by the world; the first man himself—who according to the Rabbins was also the first author—not being an original; the only original author being God.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    I understand that only the rich can be members of Dr. C---’s church. The Lord Christ, also, is therefore ineligible. I will remain outside with Him.
    Amelia E. Barr (1831–1919)
