Adherents of the new religious right reject the separation of politics and religion but they bring no spiritual insights to politics.

In religion as in politics it so happens that we have less charity for those who believe half our creed than for those who deny the whole of it.

Forget sex or politics or religion loneliness is the subject that clears out a room.

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!

I am an Anglo-Catholic in religion a classicist in literature and a royalist in politics.

In politics as in religion it is equally absurd to aim at making proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in either can rarely be cured by persecution.

Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics in religion in philosophy as cause for withdrawing from a friend.

Religion is no more possible without prayer than poetry without language or music without atmosphere.

Music is my thing. It's my thing it's what I love. It's what I do. It's football to me it's Christmas to me religion to me poetry to me.
