The Divine Music is incessantly ringing within all of us, but the loud senses drown the delicate Music, which is unlike and infinitely superior to anything we can perceive with our senses.

I reject any religious doctrine that does not appeal to reason and is in conflict with morality.

I cannot in all conscience agree to anyone being sent to the gallows. God alone can take life because He alone gives it . . .
