"Religion. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable"
- Ambrose Bierce
About this Quote
This quote by Ambrose Bierce speaks to the power of religion in our lives. Religion is a daughter of Hope and Fear, which suggests that it is born out of our need to make sense of the world and our place in it. Religion is a way of explaining the unknowable, of providing answers to questions that cannot be answered. It is a way of providing comfort and security in the face of the unknown. Religion is a way of giving us hope in the face of fear, of providing us with a sense of purpose and meaning in life. Religion is a way of helping us to make sense of the world and our place in it, even when we cannot understand it. Religion is a way of providing us with a sense of security and comfort in the face of the unknown, and of helping us to make sense of the world and our place in it.
"Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest"
"It should seem, then, that the nature of society dictates another, a higher branch, whose superiority arises from its being the interested and natural conservator of the universal interest"
