Famous quotes containing the words revolt and/or abdication:
“Israel, and you who call yourself Israel, the Church that calls itself Israel, and the revolt that calls itself Israel, and every nation chosen to be a nation—none of these lands is yours, all of you are thieves of holiness, all of you at war with Mercy.”

“The abdication of Belief
Makes the Behavior small—
Better an ignis fatuus
Than no illume at all.”
