Every man Quote by Sorin Cerin
“Holiness, Faith and Religion can never be institutionalized because they are the individual property of every man, they are a part of each mans Sacred Self, and their socialization can be done only by accepting the individuality of each such Sacred Self. And such an acceptance of the individuality does not allow in any circumstance their institutionalization.”
