Thomas/religion

Famous quotes containing the words thomas and/or religion:

“All, men my madmen, the unwholesome wind
With whistler’s cough contages, time on track
Shapes in a cinder death; love for his trick,
Happy Cadaver’s hunger as you take
The kissproof world.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

“A chaplain is the minister of the Prince of Peace serving the host of the God of War—Mars. As such, he is as incongruous as a musket would be on the altar at Christmas. Why, then, is he there? Because he indirectly subserves the purpose attested by the cannon; because too he lends the sanction of the religion of the meek to that which practically is the abrogation of everything but brute Force.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
