Quotes about Incongruous

What is the city in which we sit here, but an aggregate of incongruous materials, which have obeyed the will of some man?
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
Bluntly put, a chaplain is the minister of the Prince of Peace serving in the host of the God of War—Mars. As such, he is as incongruous as a musket would be on the altar at Christmas. Why, then, is he there? Because he indirectly subserves the purpose attested by the cannon; because too he lends the sanction of the religion of the meek to that which practically is the abrogation of everything but brute Force. 25
— Herman Melville
