Famous quotes containing the word sacred:

    “Mary, hear,
    O Mary, marry earth, sea, air and fire;
    Our sacred earth in our day is our curse.”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    “I want the necessity of supplying my own wants. All this costly culture of yours is not necessary. Greatness does not need it. Yonder peasant, who sits neglected, carries a whole revolution of man and nature in his head, which shall be a sacred history to some future ages.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The people who make wars, the people who reduce their fellows to slavery, the people who kill and torture and tell lies in the name of their sacred causes, the really evil people in a word—these are never the publicans and the sinners. No, they’re the virtuous, respectable men, who have the finest feelings, the best brains, the noblest ideals.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
