“It is a dogma of the Roman Church that the existence of God can be proved by natural reason. Now this dogma would make it impossible for me to be a Roman Catholic. If I thought of God as another being like myself, outside myself, only infinitely more powerful, then I would regard it as my duty to defy him.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“Communism, my friend, is more than Marxism, just as Catholicism ... is more than the Roman Curia. There is a mystique as well as a politique....

I would rather have blood on my hands than water like Pilate.”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“They shifted a little, but not
to return my stare.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
