"What is a wife and what is a harlot? What is a church and what is a theatre? are they two and not one? Can they exist separate? Are not religion and politics the same thing? Brotherhood is religion. O demonstrations of reason dividing families in cruelty and pride!"
- William Blake
About this Quote
This quote by William Blake is a reflection on the complexities of life and the duality of many elements of it. He questions the differences between a spouse and a harlot, a church and a theatre, and faith and politics. He suggests that these apparently different entities might not be so various after all, which they may even be intertwined. He likewise recommends that brotherhood is a kind of faith, which reason can be used to divide families in vicious and prideful ways.
