The Yogic scriptures say that God responds to the sacred prayers and efforts of human beings in any way whatsoever that mortals choose to worship - just so long as those prayers are sincere. Elizabeth Gilbert
I accept the Organic Trinity of Mineral, Vegetable, and Animal with as much authority as I accept the Holy Trinity. Both are sacred. Terry Tempest Williams
If you are searching for sacred knowledge and not just a palliative for your fears, then you will train yourself to be a good skeptic. Ann Druyan

Mervyn Peake quote: "It was not certain what significance the ceremony held... but..."
It was not certain what significance the ceremony held... but the formality was no less sacred for it being unintelligible Mervyn Peake
Jane Austen? I feel that I am approaching dangerous ground. The reputation of Jane Austen is surrounded by cohorts of defenders who are ready to do murder for their sacred cause. Arnold Bennett
No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that or this; the only right is what is after my constitution; the only wrong is what is against it. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let’s get one thing out of the way: Mexican immigration is an oxymoron. Mexicans are indigenous. So, in a strange way, I’m pleased that the racist folks of Arizona have officially declared, in banning me alongside Urrea, Baca, and Castillo, that their anti-immigration laws are also anti-Indian.
