Famous quotes containing the words holy scriptures, holy and/or scriptures:
“For them it’s out-of-date and outmoded to perform miracles; teaching the people is too like hard work, interpreting the holy scriptures is for schoolmen and praying is a waste of time; to shed tears is weak and womanish, to be needy is degrading; to suffer defeat is a disgrace and hardly fitting for one who scarcely permits the greatest of kings to kiss the toes of his sacred feet; and finally, death is an unattractive prospect, and dying on a cross would be an ignominious end.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
“I’m a holy man minus the holiness.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“A dream is a scripture, and many scriptures are nothing but dreams.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
