Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “... the average Catholic perceives no connection between religion and morality, unless it is a question of someone else’s morality.”
    —Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

    “Surely the day will come when color means nothing more than skin tone, when religion is seen uniquely as a way to speak one’s soul; when birth places have the weight of a throw of the dice and all men are born free, when understanding breeds love and brotherhood.”
    —Josephine Baker (1906–1975)
