Temple Prostitutes

Famous quotes containing the words temple and/or prostitutes:

“Thou shalt make thy house
The temple of a nation’s vows.
Spirits of a higher strain
Who sought thee once shall seek again.
I detected many a god
Forth already on the road,
Ancestors of beauty come
In thy breast to make a home.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“... it matters not what natural endowment a race may have if it prostitutes itself to the service of death.”
