Read through the most famous quotes by topic #zealotry




Then faith's paradox is this: that the single individual is higher than the universal, that the single individual determines his relation to the universal through his relation to God, not his relation to God through his relation through the universal...

Stephen Fry

Norman G. Finkelstein
