The vision of Christ that thou dost see
Is my vision's greatest enemy. — William Blake · 1818Jesus was sitting in Moses’ chair,
They brought the trembling woman there.
Moses commands she be ston’d to death,
What was the sound of Jesus’ breath?
He laid His hand on Moses’ law:
The ancient Heavens, in silent awe,
Writ with curses from pole to pole,
All away began to roll. — William Blake · 1818Anna Bartlett Warner1 quote
Jesus loves me, this I know,
For the Bible tells me so. — Anna Bartlett Warner · 1860C.S. Lewis1 quote
Either this man was, and is, the son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But don't let us come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He hasn't left that open to us. He didn't intend to. — C.S. Lewis · 1942Ex-Leper1 quote
I was hopping along, minding my own business, all of a sudden, up he comes, cures me! One minute I’m a leper with a trade, next minute my livelihood’s gone. Not so much as a by-your-leave! “You’re cured, mate.” Bloody do-gooder. — Ex-Leper · 1979Friedrich Nietzsche1 quote
There was really only one Christian, and he died on the cross. — Friedrich Nietzsche · 1895Gabriel1 quote

This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased. — God · 60John the Baptist1 quote
Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. — John the Baptist · 90Muhammad1 quote
The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only the Messenger of God. — Muhammad · 632Pontius Pilate1 quote
Behold the man! — Pontius Pilate · 90Robert Graves1 quote
Christ of his gentleness
Thirsting and hungering,
Walked in the wilderness;
Soft words of grace He spoke
Unto lost desert-folk
That listened wondering. — Robert Graves · 1916Thomas Carlyle1 quote
If Jesus Christ were to come to-day, people would not even crucify him. They would ask him to dinner, and hear what he had to say, and make fun of it. — Thomas Carlyle · 1881
