Religious Vessel

Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or vessel:

    We are now in the Me Decade—seeing the upward roll of ... the third great religious wave in American history.
    Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)

    A man’s interest in the world is only the overflow from his interest in himself. When you are a child your vessel is not yet full; so you care for nothing but your own affairs. When you grow up, your vessel overflows; and you are a politician, a philosopher, or an explorer and adventurer. In old age the vessel dries up: there is no overflow: you are a child again.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
