    “Their martyred blood and ashes sow
    O’er all the Italian fields where still doth sway
    The triple tyrant; that from these may grow

    Early may fly the Babylonian woe.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    —George Gurdjieff (c. 1877–1949)

    “We found nothing grand in the history of the Jews nor in the morals inculcated in the Pentateuch.... I know of no other books that so fully teach the subjection and degradation of woman.”
