Sigh Quotations
Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. Karl Marx Nothing can so pierce the soul as the uttermost sigh of the body. George Santayana That sort of half sigh, which, accompanied by two or three slight nods of the head, is pity's small change in general society. Charles Dickens Religious suffering is at once the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the sentiment of the heartless world, as it is the soul of soulless condition. It is the opium of the people. John Desmond Bernal True hearts have eyes and ears, no tongues to speak; they hear and see, and sigh, and then they break. Edward Dyer |
