Famous quotes containing the words fear and/or god:
“The timidity of the child or the savage is entirely reasonable; they are alarmed at this world, because this world is a very alarming place. They dislike being alone because it is verily and indeed an awful idea to be alone. Barbarians fear the unknown for the same reason that Agnostics worship it—because it is a fact.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“But if God had wanted us to think just with our wombs, why did He give us a brain?”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
