Famous Quotes | ... the generation of the 20’s...

... the generation of the 20’s was truly secular in that it still knew its theology and its varieties of religious experience.

The truths we accept are so multiple that honesty becomes little more than a strategy by which you manage your tendencies toward duplicity. - Ann Douglas
