For, in truth, an image is only dead matter shaped by the craftsman's hand. But we have no sensible image of sensible matter, but an image that is perceived by the mind alone: God, who alone is truly God.

Clement Alexandria 44 quotes

But it is with a different kind of spell that art deludes you ... it leads you to pay religious honor and worship to images and pictures.

Clement Alexandria 44 quotes

The law itself exhibits justice and teaches wisdom by abstinence from sensible images and by calling out to the Maker and Father of the universe.

Clement Alexandria 44 quotes

He who prohibited the making o...

He who prohibited the making of a graven image would never himself have made an image in the likeness of holy things [i.e., by creating an image of them here on earth]. Nor is there at all any composite thing or creature endowed with sensation [made by God here on earth] like those in heaven. But the face is a symbol of the rational soul, the wings are the lofty ministers and energies of powers right and left, and the voice is delightful glory in endless contemplation.

Clement Alexandria 44 quotes

Now the images and temples constructed by mechanics are made of inert matter, so that they too are inert, material, and profane. Even if you perfect the art, it partakes of mechanical coarseness. Works of art cannot then be sacred and divine.

Clement Alexandria 44 quotes

It is not your outward appearance that you should beautify, but your soul, adorning it with good works.

Therefore let us repent and pass from ignorance to knowledge, from foolishness to wisdom, from licentiousness to self-control, from injustice to righteousness, from godlessness to God.

Clement Alexandria 44 quotes

All our life is like a day of ...

All our life is like a day of celebration for us; we are convinced, in fact, that God is always everywhere. We work while singing, we sail while reciting hymns, we accomplish all other occupations of life while praying.

He changed sunset into sunrise.

Clement Alexandria 44 quotes

Those who glory in their looks - not in their hearts - dress to please others.

Clement Alexandria 44 quotes

But by no manner of means are women to be allotted to uncover and exhibit any part of their person, lest both fall,-the men by being excited to look, they by drawing on themselves the eyes of the men.
