Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or views:

    “After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “It is even more grim and wild than you had anticipated, a damp and intricate wilderness, in the spring everywhere wet and miry. The aspect of the country, indeed, is universally stern and savage, excepting the distant views of the forest from hills, and the lake prospects, which are mild and civilizing in a degree.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
