Communion Quotations
There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.
Martin Luther
I hope to have communion with the people, that is the most important thing.
Pope John Paul II

Gaston Bachelard

William James
Wisdom is a sacred communion.
Victor Hugo

William Ames
Marriage is not just spiritual communion, it is also remembering to take out the trash.
