opening quote:
Oh wearisome Condition of Humanity! Born under one law, to another bound:
Vainly begot and yet forbidden vanity, Created sick, commanded to be sound:
What meaneth Nature by these diverse laws? Passion and reason, self-division cause.
Is it the mark, or Majesty of Power To make offences that it may forgive?
—Fulke Greville, from ‘Mustapha’

end quote:
When my eternal happiness is involved, have I not the right to examine God’s own conduct?
A despot to whom men are subjected but through fear, a master whom they can not interrogate, a totally inaccessible sovereign, can not merit the homage of intelligent beings.
—‘Superstition in All Ages’ (1732)
attributed to Jean Meslier and Baron d’Holbach
