I Am Convinced That I Am Acting

He Alone, Who Owns The Youth, Gains The Future.

Our Teachers Were Absolute Tyrants. They Had No Sympathy With Youth; Their One Object Was To Stuff Our Brains And Turn Us Into Erudite Apes Like Themselves. If Any Pupil Showed The Slightest Trace Of Originality, They Persecuted Him Relentlessly, And The Only Model Pupils Whom I Have Ever Got To Know Have All Been Failures In After-life.

But Christianity Is An Invention Of Sick Brains: One Could Imagine Nothing More Senseless, Nor Any More Indecent Way Of Turning The Idea Of The Godhead Into A Mockery.

A Highly Intelligent Man Should Take A Primitive Woman. Imagine If On Top Of Everything Else, I Had A Woman Who Interfered With My Work.

The Task Of Preserving And Advancing The Highest Humanity, Given To This Earth By The Benevolence Of The Almighty, Seems A Truly High Mission.
