Or can we imagine another world? — Gillian Tett

The time must come inevitably when mankind shall surmount the imbecility of religion, as it has surmounted the imbecility of religion's ally, magic.

It can be defended only by making assumptions and adopting rules of logic that are never heard of in any other field of human thinking. — H. L. Mencken
