Famous quotes containing the word worship:

    You who were directionless, and thought it would solve everything if you found one,
    What do you make of this? Just because a thing is immortal
    Is that any reason to worship it? Death, after all, is immortal.
    But you have gone into your houses and shut the doors, meaning
    There can be no further discussion.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, who rules all creation!
    O my soul, worship the source of thy health and salvation!
    All ye who hear, Now to God’s temple draw near;
    Join me in glad adoration!
    Joachim Neander (1650–1680)

    Almost like a god looking at her terribly out of the everlasting dark, she had felt the eyes of that horse; great glowing, fearsome eyes, arched with a question, and containing a white blade of light like a threat. What was his non-human question, and his uncanny threat? She didn’t know. He was some splendid demon, and she must worship him.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
