Human Corpses

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or corpses:

    “Catholics think of grace as a supernatural power which God dispenses, primarily through the Church and its sacraments, to purify the souls of naturally sinful human beings, and render them capable of holiness.... Protestants think of grace as an attribute of God rather than a gift from God. It is a shorthand term signifying God’s determination to love, forgive, and save His human children, however little they deserve it.”
    —Louis Cassels, U.S. religious columnist. “The Catholic-Protestant Differences,” What’s the Difference?, Doubleday (1965)

    “Our Mother, shall we rise on Mary’s day
    In Maryland, wherever corpses married
    Under the rubble, bundled together?”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
