Austrian physician who eventually became a full-time playwright Martyrdom has always been a proof of the intensity, never of the correctness of a belief. We envy those whose possessions or achievements are a reflection on our own. They are our neighbors and equals. It is they, above all who make plain the nature of our failure. The envious man thinks that if his neighbor breaks a leg, he will be able to walk better himself.
Religions are like fireflies.
They require darkness in order to shine. To free a man from error is to give, not take away. Now we have no God. Now we have no God. It is born in them.
