Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or figures:

    “We think of religion as the symbolic expression of our highest moral ideals; we think of magic as a crude aggregate of superstitions. Religious belief seems to become mere superstitious credulity if we admit any relationship with magic. On the other hand our anthropological and ethnographical material makes it extremely difficult to separate the two fields.”
    —Ernst Cassirer (1874–1945)

    “She, while her lover pants upon her breast,
    Can mark the figures on an Indian chest.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
