“Yet the New Testament treats of man and mans so-called spiritual affairs too exclusively, and is too constantly moral and personal, to alone content me, who am not interested solely in mans religious or moral nature, or in man even.”

“A generation which has passed through the shop has absorbed standards and ambitions which are not of those of spaciousness, and cannot get away from them.

—Alexander Herzen (18121870)
