To sin is a human business, to justify sins is a devilish business. The religious superstition is encouraged by means of the institution of churches, processions, monuments, festivities....The so-called clergy stupefy the masses....They befog the people and keep them in an eternal condition of stupefacation True science investigates and brings to human perception such truths and such knowledge as the people of a given time and society consider most important. Art transmits these truths from the region of perception. Vengeance is mine, and I will repay. We have become so accustomed to the religious lie that surrounds us that we do not notice the atrocity, stupidity and cruelty with which the teaching of the Christian church is permeated What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility. Why must children die? I have reached the conclusion that the only purpose in the life of every man is to strengthen love within himself, and by strengthening it within himself, to infect other people with it Without knowing why I am and why I am here, life is impossible. Woman, you see, is an object of such a kind that study it as much as you will, it is always quite new. You can't imagine what a pleasure this complete laziness is to me: not a thought in my brain- you might send a ball rolling through it! |
