Quotes by Rhys Davies  (?)

“I have noticed, especially in Wales, that religious people eat substantially before a service and also as substantially when they come back to supper. I am not sarcastic; it is pure intellectual curiosity. Does listening to the service, the hymns, the sermon, and the praying, create a stomachic void that the worshipper tries to guard against before the service - though ineffectually it seems, judging by the supper afterwards - or is that void created by loss of psychic force through actual worship, the strain of trying to establish connection with spiritual things?”
Rhys Davies, The Withered Root

“Silence is almost a lost treasure.”
Rhys Davies, Print of a Hare's Foot

“Poor prose can get by; poor verse never.”
Rhys Davies, Print of a Hare's Foot
