Famous quotes containing the words ritual and/or purity:
“We must get back into relation, vivid and nourishing relation to the cosmos and the universe. The way is through daily ritual, and is an affair of the individual and the household, a ritual of dawn and noon and sunset, the ritual of the kindling fire and pouring water, the ritual of the first breath, and the last.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Man flows at once to God when the channel of purity is open. By turns our purity inspires and our impurity casts us down.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
