Communion

Famous quotes containing the word communion:

“Making love? It’s a communion with a woman. The bed is the holy table. There I find passion—and purification.”
—Omar Sharif (b. 1932)

“They eat, they drink, and in communion sweet
Quaff immortality and joy.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)

“In compensation for considerable disgust, despondency, and boredom—such as living in solitude without friends, books, duties, or passions necessarily entails—we are given those quarter-hours of deepest communion with ourselves and nature. Those who completely barricade themselves from boredom, barricade themselves from themselves as well: they will never get to drink the most refreshingly potent draught from the their own innermost fountain.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
