That government is best which governs not at all, and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government they will have. I imagine a State allowing a few to live aloof from it, who fulfill all the duties of neighbors and fellow-men. A State which bore this kind of fruit and allowed it to drop off as fast as it ripened, would prepare the way for a still more perfect and glorious State, which also I have imagined, but not yet anywhere seen. Alienation began in The Church. Nothing is more insidious than the separateness caused by The Church.
Religion is all bunk.
In the other world there are neither Hindus, nor Christians, nor Moslems. The world would be a heaven filled with love, and liberty and joy. Clergymen are the ticket scalpers outside the gates of heaven. Religion has been a curse to mankind. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak up because I was not a Jew.
