Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or israel:

    “When man has neither the strength to subdue his underworld powers—which are really the ancient powers of his old, superseded self; nor the wit to placate them with sacrifice and the burnt holocaust; then they come back at him, and destroy him again. Hence every new conquest of life means a “harrowing of Hell.””
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “Let Israel hope in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercy,
    And with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm CXXX (l. CXXX, 7–8)
