Famous quotes containing the word theologians:

    “We need not be theologians to see that we have shifted responsibility for making the world interesting from God to the newspaperman.”
    —Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    “I don’t like Switzerland; it has produced nothing but theologians and waiters.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “Wordsworth’s particular grace, his charisma, as theologians say, has been granted in equal measure to so very few men since time was—to Plato and who else?
    The crucial thing is never what we do, but always what we do right after that. What matters is always the next step!”
    —Robert Musil (1880–1942)
