Cathedral Quotes

For me, the reason why people go to a mountaintop or go to the edge of the ocean is to look at something larger than themselves. That feeling of awe, of going to a cathedral, it’s all about feeling lost in something bigger than oneself. To me, that’s the definition of spectacle Picture Quote #1

At the school I attended, the clergyman who ran the cathedral school in Shanghai would give lines to the boys as a punishment. They expected you to copy out, say, 20 or 30 pages from one of the school texts. But I found that rather than laboriously copying out something from a novel by Charles Dickens, it was easier if I made it up myself Picture Quote #1

Whence, then, did the cathedral derive its power? Clearly here: It took back the family into the confidences of religion. It taught man and woman how the human and the divine love could go hand in hand Picture Quote #1

When every church becomes a school, every cathedral a university, every clergyman a teacher, and all their hearers brave and honest thinkers, then - and not until then - will the dream of poet, patriot, philanthropist and philosopher become a real and blessed truth Picture Quote #1

I love Chatsworth, Winchester Cathedral, Edinburgh Castle... Every time I’m in the vicinity of something old and worth looking at, I try to go. You don’t even have to leave your home town to see some places. How many Londoners have seen the crown jewels? Not many, and they’ll blow you away, I promise Picture Quote #1

The story of the decadence of the cathedral as a moral power, a spiritual energizer in civilization, is the sad but inevitable story of dogmatism. It is the story of the struggle of free thought with bigotry, religion making common cause with the wrong side Picture Quote #1

I grew up on the South Island of New Zealand, in a city chosen and beloved by my parents for its proximity to the mountains - Christchurch is two hours distant from the worn saddle of Arthur’s Pass, the mountain village that was and is my father’s spiritual touchstone, his chapel and cathedral in the wild Picture Quote #1

I would just as soon have abused the old village church at home for not being a cathedral Picture Quote #1

The Christmas market at the Barcelona Cathedral sells all kinds of things for your Nativity scene. It will also give you a good idea of Catalan culture Picture Quote #1

The raising of a child is the building of a cathedral. You can’t cut corners Picture Quote #1

Of all man’s works of art, a cathedral is greatest. A vast and majestic tree is greater than that Picture Quote #1

The Crystal Cathedral Ministries, the assets and the buildings, would still be in the hands of the ministries if my father would have simply walked away. When I accepted the role as the next senior pastor, he had agreed to be an ambassador-at-large and raise funds for the endowment fund. He didn’t do that Picture Quote #1

If theory is the role of the architect, then such beautiful proofs are the role of the craftsman. Of course, as with the great renaissance artists, such roles are not mutually exclusive. A great cathedral has both structural impressiveness and delicate detail. A great mathematical theory should similarly be beautiful on both large and small scales Picture Quote #1

Regard it as just as desirable to build a chicken house as to build a cathedral Picture Quote #1

Sigmund Freud was the apostle of disbelief. He was the one who made psychoanalysis a part of our culture, and in so doing he kicked out a flying buttress that had been essential for holding up our cathedral of faith Picture Quote #1

Put three grains of sand inside a vast cathedral, and the cathedral will be more closely packed with sand than space is with stars Picture Quote #1

I walk without flinching through the burning cathedral of the summer. My bank of wild grass is majestic and full of music. It is a fire that solitude presses against my lips Picture Quote #1

An idea is a greater monument than a cathedral. And the advance of man’s knowledge is a greater miracle than all the sticks turned to snakes or the parting of the waters Picture Quote #1

A true leader is one who designs the cathedral and then shares the vision that inspires others to build it Picture Quote #1

You need a plan for everything, whether it’s building a cathedral or a chicken coop. Without a plan, you’ll postpone living until you’re dead Picture Quote #1

When you start, the world of publishing seems like a great cathedral citadel of talent, resisting attempts to let you inside. It isn’t like that at all. It may be more difficult now, and take longer than when I started to write, but there’s a great, empty warehouse out there looking for simple talent Picture Quote #1

Yet is it possible in terms of the motion of atoms to explain how men can invent an electric motor, or design and build a great cathedral? If such achievements represent anything more than the requirements of physical law, it means that science must investigate the additional controlling factors, whatever they may be, in order that the world of nature may be adequately understood. For a science which describes only the motions of inanimate things but fails to include the actions of living organisms cannot claim universality Picture Quote #1

Kindness is the color in the cathedral window which woven into beautiful characters shuts out the hideous sights of a world which is all too practical Picture Quote #1

I have come to regard the law courts not as a cathedral but rather as a casino Picture Quote #1

It is unmatched in its ability to think, to communicate, and to reason. Most striking of all, it has a unique awareness of its identity and of its place in space and time. Welcome to the human brain, the cathedral of complexity Picture Quote #1

You can’t build a cathedral in a day. A look at the club’s history tells you these things take time Picture Quote #1

Concepts differentiate architecture from mere building... A bicycle shed with a concept is architecture; a cathedral without one is just a building Picture Quote #1

For me, the reason why people go to a mountaintop or go to the edge of the ocean is to look at something larger than themselves. That feeling of awe, of going to a cathedral, it’s all about feeling lost in something bigger than oneself. To me, that’s the definition of spectacle Picture Quote #1

In a small cathedral town where changes are few, there are always people who remember who used to live in a particular house, what happened to them there and afterwards, and so on Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a forest. It’s like a room. It’s protected. Like a cathedral... it is a place between heaven and earth Picture Quote #1
