Quote by LouisFerdinand Celine

With two thousand years of Christianity behind him... a man

Summary

This quote suggests that the depth and extent of Christianity's historical influence can profoundly impact an individual's perception and thoughts. Over the course of two millennia, the ideas and beliefs propagated by Christianity have ingrained themselves deeply within society. Consequently, when witnessing a mundane event like a regiment of soldiers marching, a person with a Christian background is prone to being overwhelmed by a flood of associated thoughts, possibly related to themes of faith, salvation, sacrifice, or the history of conquest and religion. The quote touches upon the power of religious conditioning and its ability to shape one's perception and provoke a complex mental response.

The role of Charlie Eppes has changed me. I never imagined I would play a role like this. I lost some weight, grew my hair and now every woman in America over 40 wants to date me.
