Quotes by Bill Hopkins  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“We have replaced the religious passions with Christian social virtues, and to talk of Man’s triumph in terms of mercy, charity, or compassion is as senseless as expecting to find a Christ standing his turn of beers in a Paddington public house.”
Bill Hopkins

“Divorce a man from purpose and his life becomes meaningless, no better than an animal’s. The trouble is that most purposes are exhausted too quickly; the only ones capable of enduring are those sustained by belief. The medieval church knew that stout walls were needed to block out the horrifying vacuum of the universe. It understood that the recognition of that vacuum was enough to send weak human beings, cursed with imagination, to insanity and suicide. That was why the church demanded absolute obedience.”
Bill Hopkins

“The moment one conceives the meaning of human greatness is the moment when one understands the baseness, the triviality and the meanness of the material from which we have to mould it.”
Bill Hopkins

Maureen Mullis Hi Bill! Thank you for adding this fellow author into your circle of friends here on Goodreads. I hope you'll add my novels including the cozy mysteries (What Would Nancy Do?, Lethal Prescription), In the Company of Women, The Christmas to Remember and Finding Normal to your to-read list. I look forward to reading your book reviews and recommendations. Happy reading!
