A revival does two things. First, it returns the Church from her backsliding and second, it causes the conversion of men and women; and it always includes the conviction of sin on the part of the Church. What a spell the devil seems to cast over the Church today!
Billy Sunday

At the same time all this was happening, there was a folk song revival movement goingon, so the commercial music industry was actually changed by the Civil Rights Movement.
Bernice Johnson Reagon

Film-makers should remain true to their principles and never compromise, there is a real revival in the British film industry but there is a danger that we will become colonial servants of Hollywood. We need to maintain our own integrity.
Mike Leigh

I am here before you tonight to dedicate this administration to bringing a new renaissance of neighborhood life and community spirit, a renewal of confidence in the future of our city and a revival of opportunity for all Chicago.
Jane Byrne

I am saying voluntarily that I have sung for almost every religious group in the country, from Jewish and Catholic, and Presbyterian and Holy Rollers and Revival Churches.
Pete Seeger

I believe there is no doctrine more dangerous to the Church today than to convey the impression that a revival is something peculiar in itself and cannot be judged by the same rules of causes and effect as other things.
Billy Sunday

I don't think I'd want a revival. I'm not doing a tribute to myself.
Dan Hicks

I had a call to the University of Miami where I'd run a revival in 1950.
Howard Finster

I made my Broadway debut in the revival of Hair and followed it up with the bus and truck tour of Grease.
Peter Gallagher

Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place.
Angela Carter

The blues - the sound of a sinner on revival day.
William Christopher Handy

The conservative revival cannot be dismissed.
Christopher Lasch

The drive toward economic nationalism is only part of the general revival of nationalism.
Arthur Henderson

The revival of Islam dates from the early years of the 20th century. It was brought about by their humiliation, by their sense of how low they'd fallen compared with the West.
John Keegan

The work I did in Vertigo meant nothing if no one cared about the movie. Luckily, Vertigo had a revival and people had begun to recognize there was something special and it gained in reputation. But it just as well could have ended up rotting in film cans somewhere.
Kim Novak

They tell me a revival is only temporary; so is a bath, but it does you good.
Billy Sunday

Things improved a little bit in the '80s; there was kind of a revival of alternative comics, but then they went downhill in the '90s.
Harvey Pekar

We felt if we didn't have new material in us and we didn't have a real reason to exist, then we probably wouldn't have done an 80's revival thing. We are very conscious about the fact that's what we are as a bunch of people.
Andy Taylor

When is a revival needed? When carelessness and unconcern keep the people asleep.
Billy Sunday

When may a revival be expected? When the wickedness of the wicked grieves and distresses the Christian.
