Religions Objection

Famous quotes containing the words religions and/or objection:

“Those who believe in their truth—the only ones whose imprint is retained by the memory of men—leave the earth behind them strewn with corpses. Religions number in their ledgers more murders than the bloodiest tyrannies account for, and those whom humanity has called divine far surpass the most conscientious murderers in their thirst for slaughter.”
—E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)

“I have found it to be the most serious objection to coarse labors long continued, that they compelled me to eat and drink coarsely also.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
