Famous quotes containing the words moon and/or god:
“I thought to hear him speak
the girl might rise
and make the garden silver,
as the white moon breaks,
Nossis, he cried, a flame.”
—Hilda Doolittle (18861961)
“A chaplain is the minister of the Prince of Peace serving the host of the God of WarMars. As such, he is as incongruous as a musket would be on the altar at Christmas. Why, then, is he there? Because he indirectly subserves the purpose attested by the cannon; because too he lends the sanction of the religion of the meek to that which practically is the abrogation of everything but brute Force.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
