    “Writing fiction has become a priestly business in countries that have lost their faith.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)

    “... we have broken down the self-respecting spirit of man with nursery tales and priestly threats, and we dare to assert, that in proportion as we have prostrated our understanding and degraded our nature, we have exhibited virtue, wisdom, and happiness, in our words, our actions, and our lives!”
