Twelve Deadly Cyns

Famous quotes containing the words twelve and/or deadly:

    “When I was twelve years old I thought up an odd trinity: namely, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Devil. My inference was that God, in contemplating himself, created the second person of the godhead; but that, in order to be able to contemplate himself, he had to contemplate, and thus to create, his opposite.—With this I began to do philosophy.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “The seven deadly sins: Want of money, bad health, bad temper, chastity, family ties, knowing that you know things, and believing in the Christian religion.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
