Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “As soon as beauty is sought, not from religion and love, but for pleasure, it degrades the seeker.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
