Christ Church

Famous quotes containing the words christ and/or church:

    Then to the third—a face nor child nor old, very calm,
    as of beautiful yellow-white ivory,
    Young man I think I know you—I think this face is the
    face of the Christ himself,
    Dead and divine and brother of all, and here again he lies.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    I condemn Christianity. I raise against the Christian church the most terrible accusation that any accuser has ever uttered. It is to me the ultimate conceivable corruption. It has possessed the will to the final corruption that is even possible. The Christian church has left nothing untouched by its depravity: it has turned every value into a disvalue, every truth into a falsehood, every integrity into a vileness of the soul.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
