    Art and religion first; then philosophy; lastly science. That is the order of the great subjects of life, that’s their order of importance.
    Muriel Spark (b. 1918)

    In a drama of the highest order there is little food for censure or hatred; it teaches rather self-knowledge and self- respect.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    ... the big courageous acts of life are those one never hears of and only suspects from having been through like experience. It takes real courage to do battle in the unspectacular task. We always listen for the applause of our co-workers. He is courageous who plods on, unlettered and unknown.... In the last analysis it is this courage, developing between man and his limitations, that brings success.
    Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

    That for which Paul lived and died so gloriously; that for which Jesus gave himself to be crucified; the end that animated the thousand martyrs and heroes who have followed his steps, was to redeem us from a formal religion, and teach us to seek our well-being in the formation of the soul.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
