Famous quotes containing the words blasphemy and/or laws:

    And it seems to me a blasphemy to say that the Holy Spirit is Love. In the Old Testament it is an Eagle: in the New it is a Dove. Christ insists on the Dove: but in His supreme moments He includes the Eagle.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    There are laws for peace as well as war.
    Titus Livius (Livy)
