    —Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)

    “There is no religion in which everyday life is not considered a prison; there is no philosophy or ideology that does not think that we live in alienation.”
    —Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)

    “In the religion of all nations a purity is hinted at, which, I fear, men never attain to.”
