False Priest

Famous quotes containing the words false and/or priest:

    The books one reads in childhood, and perhaps most of all the bad and good bad books, create in one’s mind a sort of false map of the world, a series of fabulous countries into which one can retreat at odd moments throughout the rest of life, and which in some cases can survive a visit to the real countries which they are supposed to represent.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)

    “And because I am happy, & dance & sing,
    They think they have done me no injury,
    And are gone to praise God & his Priest & King,
    Who make up a heaven of our misery.”
    William Blake (1757–1827)
