More From Johan Huizinga
- "In Europe art has to a large degree taken the place of religion. In America it seems rather to be science."
- "An aristocratic culture does not advertise its emotions. In its forms of expression it is sober and reserved. Its general attitude is stoic."
- "Do you know anything that in all its innocence is more humiliating than the funny pages of a Sunday newspaper in America?"
More In Faith
- "My coming to faith did not start with a leap but rather a series of staggers from what seemed like one safe place to another. Like lily pads, round and green, these places summoned and then held me up while I grew. Each prepared me for the next leaf on which I would land, and in this way I moved across the swamp of doubt and fear."― Anne Lamott
- "My faith helps me understand that circumstances don’t dictate my happiness, my inner peace."― Denzel Washington
- "I was very, very religious. And of course I wrote about it in ‘Night.’ I questioned God’s silence. So I questioned. I don’t have an answer for that. Does it mean that I stopped having faith? No. I have faith, but I question it."― Elie Wiesel
