Famous quotes containing the words luminous and/or religion:
“let geese
Gabble and hiss, but heroes seek release
From dusty bondage into luminous air.”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
“Is there any religion but this, to know, that, wherever in the wide desert of being, the holy sentiment we cherish has opened into a flower, it blooms for me? If none sees it, I see it; I am aware, if I alone, of the greatness of the fact. Whilst it blooms, I will keep sabbath or holy time, and suspend my gloom, and my folly and jokes.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
