Courage is a kind of salvation. Plato
At its [Soho] very centre was one of our most notorious artists. For him salvation was an illusion. He only believed in fear, pain and desire. His name was Francis Bacon. Dr James Fox, British Masters III: A New Jerusalem, BBC 2011
Salvation is a last-minute business, boy. The Night of the Hunter 1955 starring Robert Mitchum & Shelley Winters & Lillian Gish & James Gleason & Evelyn Varden & Billy Chapin & Peter Graves & Sally Jane Bruce & Don Beddoe et al, director Charles Laughton, Mitchum in prison
There is only one way to salvation, and that is to make yourself responsible for all men’s sins. As soon as you make yourself responsible in all sincerity for everything and for everyone, you will see at once that this is really so, and that you are in fact to blame for everyone and for all things. Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
Leave all things behind, and come unto me for thy salvation. I will make thee free from the bondage of sins. Fear no more. Bhagavad Gita, Hindu epic poem incorporated into Mahabharata
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. Romans 13:11
Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12
Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Philippians 2:12
Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction – its essence – has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all. Isaac Asimov
Even if no salvation should come, I want to be worthy of it at every moment. Franz Kafka
Three things are necessary for the salvation of man: to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do. Thomas Aquinas, The Soul of a Nation: Culture, Morality, Law, Education
No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from entering in, save only our own unbelief. John Calvin
Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted. Martin Luther King
Salvation never will come through hope of reward. Swami Vivekananda, in The Complete Works of Swami Viveka
