    You might sooner get lightning out of incense smoke than true action or passion out of your modern English religion.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    Don’t you realize that this is a new empire? Why, folks, there’s never been anything like this since creation. Creation, huh, that took six days, this was done in one. History made in an hour. Why it’s a miracle out of the Old Testament!
