• To crush out fanaticism and revere the infinite, such is the law. Let us not confine ourselves to falling prostrate beneath the tree of creation and contemplating its vast ramifications full of stars. We have a duty to perform, to cultivate the human soul, to defend mystery against miracle, to adore the incomprehensible and to reject the absurd; to admit nothing that is inexplicable excepting what is necessary, to purify faith and obliterate superstition from the face of religion, to remove the vermin from the garden of God.

  Victor Hugo

• How full and rich a world
  Theirs to inhabit is--
  Sweet scent of grass and bloom,
  Playmates' glad symphony,
  Cool touch of western wind,
  Sunshine's divine caress.
  How should they know or feel
  They are in darkness?
  But, oh, the miracle!
  If a Redeemer came,
  Laid finger on their eyes--
  One touch and what a world,
  New-born in loveliness!

  Israel Zangwill
