Summary

This quote implies that religious sects and denominations vary in their beliefs and teachings because they are shaped by human beings who interpret and construct religious ideas. On the other hand, morality, being a universal concept, remains unchanged regardless of sect or religion because it is derived from a divine source (God). This suggests that while different sects may have different rituals, practices, and theological doctrines, there exists a shared ethical foundation that transcends religious boundaries.

The camera is a killing chamber, which speeds up the time it claims to be conserving. Like coffins exhumed and priced open, the photographs put on show what we were and what we will be again.
