When We Know To Read Our Own

Bad Company Is As Instructive As Licentiousness. One Makes Up For The Loss Of One's Innocence With The Loss Of One's Prejudices.

The God Of The Christians Is A Father Who Makes Much Of His Apples, And Very Little Of His Children.

Mankind Have Banned The Divinity From Their Presence; They Have Relegated Him To A Sanctuary; The Walls Of The Temple Restrict His View; He Does Not Exist Outside Of It.

How Old The World Is! I Walk Between Two Eternities.... What Is My Fleeting Existence In Comparison With That Decaying Rock, That Valley Digging Its Channel Ever Deeper, That Forest That Is Tottering And Those Great Masses Above My Head About To Fall? I See The Marble Of Tombs Crumbling Into Dust; And Yet I Don't Want To Die!

If There Were A Reason For Preferring The Christian Religion To Natural Religion, It Would Be Because The Former Offers Us, On The Nature Of God And Man, Enlightenment That The Latter Lacks. Now, This Is Not At All The Case; For Christianity, Instead Of Clarifying, Gives Rise To An Infinite Multitude Of Obscurities And Difficulties.
