Pagan

Famous quotes containing the word pagan:

“The Christian fear of the pagan outlook has damaged the whole consciousness of man.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“I’m a priest, not a priestess.... “Priestess” implies mumbo jumbo and all sorts of pagan goings-on. Those who oppose us would love to call us priestesses. They can call us all the names in the world—it’s better than being invisible.”
—Carter Heyward (b. 1946)

“It was the words “descended into Hades”
That seemed too pagan to our liberal youth.
You know they suffered from a general onslaught.
And well, if they weren’t true why keep right on
Saying them like the heathen? We could drop them.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
