Text Quotes
All our scientific and philosophic ideals are altars to unknown gods  (Altars Quotes) Priests, altars, victims, swam before my sight  (Altars Quotes) Great mischief comes from attempts to steady other people’s altars  (Altars Quotes) Lightning will wreck its displeasures not only upon pillars, trees, and sheep, but upon altars and temples, and let the sacrilegious go free  (Altars Quotes) Again, there is a heroism in crime as well as in virtue. Vice and infamy have also their altars and their religion  (Altars Quotes) Altars should face the east, and should always be placed on a lower level than are the statues in the temples, so that those who are praying and sacrificing may look upwards towards the divinity  (Altars Quotes) Christianity could not content itself with building up its own altar; it was absolutely forced to undertake the destruction of the heathen altars. Only from this fanatical intolerance could its apodictic faith take form; this intolerance is, in fact, its absolute presupposition  (Altars Quotes) In this choice of inheritance we have given to our frame of polity the image of a relation in blood; binding up the constitution of our country with our dearest domestic ties; adopting our fundamental laws into the bosom of our family affections; keeping inseparable and cherishing with the warmth of all their combined and mutually reflected charities, our state, our hearths, our sepulchres, and our altars  (Altars Quotes) There are the altars, but here is the greatest of altars, the living, conscious human body, and to worship at this altar is far higher than the worship of any dead symbols  (Altars Quotes) Nay, fly to altars; there they’ll talk you dead; For fools rush in where angels fear to tread  (Altars Quotes) I am not the means to any end others may wish to accomplish. I am not a tool for their use. I am not a servant of their needs. I am not a bandage for their wounds, I am not a sacrifice on their altars  (Altars Quotes) The temple of fame stands upon the grave: the flame that burns upon its altars is kindled from the ashes of great men  (Altars Quotes) Truth is always in danger of being sacrificed on the altars of good taste and social stability  (Altars Quotes) He wept for truth which was dead, for heaven which was void. Beyond the marble walls and gleaming jewelled altars, the huge plaster Christ had no longer a single drop of blood in its veins  (Altars Quotes) You who build these altars now to sacrifice these children, you must not do it anymore. A scheme is not a vision and you never have been tempted by a demon or a God  (Altars Quotes) Earth is so thick with divine possibility that it is a wonder we can walk anywhere without cracking our shins on altars  (Altars Quotes) The ritual sacrifice of children has been taboo for thousands of years. Yet tragically it is practiced every day across our world. We sacrifice children on the altars of our most destructive sins. When the sickness of pornography has run to its most evil and destructive end, it takes the form of child pornography. When prostitution reaches its sickest, most depraved form, it becomes child prostitution  (Altars Quotes) Penetrate deeply in the secret existence of anyone about you, even of the man or woman whom you count happiest, and you will come upon things they spend all their efforts to hide. Fair as the exterior may be, if you go in, you will find bare places, heaps of rubbish that can never be taken away, cold hearths, desolate altars, and windows veiled with cobwebs  (Altars Quotes) Yes, thou art ever present, power divine; not circumscribed by time, nor fixed by space, confined to altars, nor to temples bound. In wealth, in want, in freedom, or in chains, in dungeons or on thrones, the faithful find thee  (Altars Quotes) Friendship is like those ancient altars where the unhappy, and even the guilty, found a sure asylum  (Altars Quotes) There is a heroism in crime as well as in virtue. Vice and infamy have their altars and their religion  (Altars Quotes)
