Personal Deity

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or deity:

“It has no share in the leadership of thought: it does not even reflect its current. It does not create beauty: it apes fashion. It does not produce personal skill: our actors and actresses, with the exception of a few persons with natural gifts and graces, mostly miscultivated or half-cultivated, are simply the middle-class section of the residuum.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

“Whenever the deity contrives misfortunes for a man, he first harms their understanding.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
