Confessing Christians

Famous quotes containing the words confessing and/or christians:

    Because of the unusual remoteness of Russia, and because of nostalgia’s remaining throughout one’s life an insane companion, with whose heartrending oddities one is accustomed to put up in public, I feel no embarrassment in confessing to the sentimental stab of attachment to my first book.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    I’ll stay by your side until you confess. And if you don’t, I’ll feed you to the villagers like the Romans fed Christians to the lions.
    —Willis Cooper. Rowland V. Lee. Krogh (Lionel Atwill)
