Famous quotes containing the word celestial:
“When the spirit brings light into our minds, it dispels darkness. We see it, as we do that of the sun at noon, and need not the twilight of reason to show it us. This light from heaven is strong, clear, and pure carries its own demonstration with it; and we may as naturally take a glow-worm to assist us to discover the sun, as to examine the celestial ray by our dim candle, reason.”
—John Locke (16321704)
“Your enjoyment of the world is never right, till every morning you awake in Heaven: see yourself in your Fathers palace; and look upon the skies, the earth, and the air as celestial joys: having such a reverend esteem of all, as if you were among the angels.”
—Thomas Traherne (16361674)
“The mistake that men make is that they do not believe in theater. Otherwise, they would know that every man is allowed to play the celestial tragedies and to become god. All he has to do is harden his heart.”
—Albert Camus (19131960)
