Famous quotes containing the words today and/or church:
“A good book is the best of friends, the same today and for ever.”
—Martin Tupper (1810–1889)
“It is a dogma of the Roman Church that the existence of God can be proved by natural reason. Now this dogma would make it impossible for me to be a Roman Catholic. If I thought of God as another being like myself, outside myself, only infinitely more powerful, then I would regard it as my duty to defy him.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
