Famous quotes containing the words minor and/or prophets:
“A certain minor light may still
Leap incandescent
Out of kitchen table or chair
As if a celestial burning took
Possession of the most obtuse objects now and then”
—Sylvia Plath (19321963)
“It is the manner of gods and prophets to begin: Thou shalt have none other God or Prophet but me. If I were to start as a God or a prophet I think I should take the line: Thou shalt not believe in me. Thou shalt not have me for a God. Thou shalt worship any d_____d thing thou likest except me. This should be my first and great commandment, and my second should be like unto it.”
—Samuel Butler (18351902)
