"The objections to religion are of two sorts -- intellectual and moral.

Victory, in this struggle with the powers of darkness, is the true baptism into the glorious company of heroes, the true initiation into the overmastering beauty of human existence."

An individuality which is kept in a glass case withers, whereas on e that is freely expended in human contacts becomes enriched."
