Famous quotes containing the words jesus and/or read:
“They circumcised women, little girls, in Jesus’s time. Did he know? Did the subject anger or embarrass him? Did the early church erase the record? Jesus himself was circumcised; perhaps he thought only the cutting done to him was done to women, and therefore, since he survived, it was all right.”
—Alice Walker (b. 1944)
“How can you dare teach a man to read until you’ve taught him everything else first?”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
