“All religions have based morality on obedience, that is to say, on voluntary slavery. That is why they have always been more pernicious than any political organisation. For the latter makes use of violence, the former—of the corruption of the will.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“The people of England are never so happy as when you tell them they are ruined.”
—Arthur Murphy (1727–1805)
