Famous quotes containing the words age and, age and/or religion:

    “Here [in London, history] ... seemed the very fabric of things, as if the city were a single growth of stone and brick, uncounted strata of message and meaning, age upon age, generated over the centuries to the dictates of some now all-but-unreadable DNA of commerce and empire.”
    —William Gibson (b. 1948)

    “The age of the book is almost gone.”
    —George Steiner (b. 1929)

    “If ... we admit a divinity, why not divine worship? and if worship, why not religion to teach this worship? and if a religion, why not the Christian, if a better cannot be assigned, and it be already established by the laws of our country, and handed down to us from our forefathers?”
    —George Berkeley (1685–1753)
