If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him. The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact than a drunken man is happier than a sober one. Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally. All religions are founded on the fear of the many and the cleverness of the few. I can resist everything exept temptation.
Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.
