Blessing Ceremonies

Famous quotes containing the words blessing and/or ceremonies:

“Of all the words mentioned in language, there is not one that I hate more than the word “right.” Is it your right that your field prospers? That you don’t drop dead this very instant? Are living and breathing your right? As far as I can see, nothing but grace and blessing fill the universe, and these worms talk about right?”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

“Society is frivolous, and shreds its day into scraps, its conversation into ceremonies and escapes.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
