—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
“Our religion ... is itself profoundly sad—a religion of universal anguish, and one which, because of its very catholicity, grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man’s own language—so long as he knows anguish and is a painter.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“My country is the world, and my religion is to do good.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
