Famous quotes containing the words nature and/or atheism:
“Thou loving soul with that unlovely face,
Thou foulest offspring of the fairest race,
Cease to lament: had Nature meant him kind,
She’d not have made him lame, but struck him blind.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“But they that hold God to be [an incorporeal substance] ... do absolutely make God to be nothing at all. But how? Were they atheists? No. For though by ignorance of the consequence they said that which was equivalent to atheism, yet in their hearts they thought God a substance ... So that this atheism by consequence is a very easy thing to be fallen into, even by the most godly men of the church.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
