“Dogmatic toleration is nonsense: I would no more tolerate the teaching of Calvinism to children if I had power to persecute it than the British Raj tolerated suttee in India. Every civilized authority must draw a line between the tolerable and the intolerable.”

“Now they heap the funeral pyre,
And the torch of death they light;
Ah! ‘tis hard to die by fire!”
