There were a lot of gods. Gods always come in handy, they justify almost anything.

From the beginning men used God to justify the unjustifiable.

What can you say to a man who tells you he prefers obeying God rather than men, and that as a result he's certain he'll go to heaven if he cuts your throat?

Patriotism is a kind of religion; it is the egg from which wars are hatched."

[My Uncle Sosthenes]

People are never so completely and enthusiastically evil as when they act out of religious conviction.

Modesty is invisibility...Never forget it. To be seen—to be seen—is to be...penetrated. What you must be girls, is impenetrable.
