Famous quotes containing the word revelation:

    One revelation has been made to the Indian, another to the white man.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Whitman is like a human document, or a wonderful treatise in human self revelation. It is neither art nor religion nor truth: Just a self revelation of a man who could not live, and so had to write himself.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Men have come to speak of the revelation as somewhat long ago given and done, as if God were dead. The injury to faith throttles the preacher; and the goodliest of institutions becomes an uncertain and inarticulate voice.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
