“How can you have order in a state without religion? For, when one man is dying of hunger near another who is ill of surfeit, he cannot resign himself to this difference unless there is an authority which declares 'God wills it thus.' Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.” PeopleMenStatesGodReligionOrderStuffDifferencesChurchCommonDyingQuietAuthorityHungerIllExcellentOne Man Author:Napoleon Bonaparte
“I think we all have a hunger that's hard to name. A lot of people who come to my retreats have never named it before, or else they've named it in church, but they can't actually see the connection between what they're doing with food and this yearning. I call it "the flame" that they have: They yearn for big answers to live a big life. But they have to start with the most basic fears.” PeopleThinkingHardBigsNamesChurchAnswersConnectionsHungerFlamesYearningRetreat Author:Geneen Roth
“The fact is that there is a profound spiritual hunger in the western world which, for a variety of reasons, its church is no longer able to assuage. So a book which suggests that there is a spiritual significance to the Christian story but that this has been suppressed by the church undoubtedly appeals to those who are anxious to square this circle.” WorldHas BeensBookReasonFactsStoriesAbleChristianSpiritualReligionChurchMoralityProfoundWesternHungerCirclesVarietyAppealsSignificanceSquaresAnxiousWestern WorldSpiritual HungerProfound Spiritual Author:Melanie Phillips
