Quest Acquired

Famous quotes containing the words quest and/or acquired:

“Let none turn over books, or roam the stars in quest of God, who sees him not in man.”
—Johann Kaspar Lavater (1741–1801)

“I am not sure but I should betake myself in extremities to the liberal divinities of Greece, rather than to my country’s God. Jehovah, though with us he has acquired new attributes, is more absolute and unapproachable, but hardly more divine, than Jove. He is not so much of a gentleman, not so gracious and catholic, he does not exert so intimate and genial an influence on nature, as many a god of the Greeks.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
