Christianity Has Ever Been The Enemy Of

Familiarity Is A Magician That Is Cruel To Beauty But Kind To Ugliness.

Belief Of Some Sort Is The Lifeblood Of Art.

The Christian Religion, Outwardly And Even In Intention Humble, Does, Without Meaning It, Teach Man To Regard Himself As The Most Important Of All Created Things. Man Surveys The Starry Heavens And Hears With His Ears Of The Plurality Of Worlds; Yet His Religion Bids Him Believe That His Alone Out Of These Innumerable Spheres Is The Object Of His Master's Love And Sacrifice.

Fame Nowadays Is Little Else But Notoriety.

Men Are Always Optimists When They Look Inwards, And Pessimists When They Look Round Them.
