A Divine Falsehood Is More

Religion Is A Collective Insanity.

Theology Is The Science Of The Divine Lie.

But I Recognize No Infallible Authority, Even In Special Questions; Consequently, Whatever Respect I May Have For The Honesty And The Sincerity Of Such Or Such An Individual, I Have No Absolute Faith In Any Person.

Those Mutually Opposed Manifestos Are Written With The Same Eloquence, They Breathe The Same Virtuous Indignation, And One Is Just As Sincere As The Other; That Is To Say Both Of Them Are Equally Brazen In Their Lies, And It Is Only Fools Who Are Deceived By Them. Sensible Persons, All Those Who Have Had Some Political Experience, Do Not Even Take The Trouble Of Reading Such Manifestos.

Everything Will Pass, And The World Will Perish But The Ninth Symphony Will Remain.
