"You and I, we must carry on, Gemma. I cannot afford the luxury of love. I must marry well. And now I must look after you. It is my duty.""If you wish to suffer, you do so of your own free will, not on my behalf. Or Father's or Grandmama's or anyone's. You are a fine physician, Thomas. Why is that not enough?""Because it isn't," he says with a rare candor. "Only this and the hope of nothing more? A quiet respectability with no true greatness or heroism in it, with only my reputation to recommend me. So you see, Gemma, you are not the only one who cannot rule her own life."

"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon, than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness, that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel."
Morality
"I believe in the equality of man; and I believe that religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow-creatures happy."
Equality
"Government even in its best state is but a necessary evil in its worst state an intolerable one."
Politics
"A man may write himself out of reputation when nobody else can do it."
Creativity
"Immediate necessity makes many things convenient, which if continued would grow into oppressions. Expedience and right are different things."
Ethics
"Every religion is good that teaches man to be good; and I know of none that instructs him to be bad."
Religion
"We can only reason from what is; we can reason on actualities, but not on possibilities."
Possibility
"Common sense will tell us, thatthe power which hath endeavoured to subdue us, is of all others, themost improper to defend us."
Politics
"But with respect to religion itself, without regard to names, and as directing itself from the universal family of mankind to the divine object of adoration, it is man bringing to his maker the fruits of his heart; and though these fruits may differ from each other like the fruits of the earth, the grateful tribute of everyone is accepted."
Spiritual
"I choose my life to this free. I choose my life to be this way."
