Baker Eddy

Famous quotes containing the words baker eddy, baker and/or eddy:

    Audible prayer can never do the works of spiritual understanding, which regenerates; but silent prayer, watchfulness, and devout obedience enable us to follow Jesus’ example. Long prayers, superstition, and creeds clip the strong pinions of love, and clothe religion in human forms. Whatever materializes worship hinders man’s spiritual growth and keeps him from demonstrating his power over error.
    —Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910)

    For me, as a beginning novelist, all other living writers form a control group for whom the world is a placebo.
    —Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)

    “... A nation has to take its natural course
    Of Progress round and round in circles
    From King to Mob to King to Mob to King
    Until the eddy of it eddies out.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
