The European, the good European, as you call him, is without doubt a skilled mechanic, a good scientist, an excellent watch maker... but in religious questions he cannot compete... Luther, Calvin, General Booth are stupid fools...

Those minor prophets, Ariophiles, try to demonstrate that the Arian, the German, is a man of tempered intelligence and common sense. This may be possible, but this sort of person did not invent religion. Without doubt religions were created by the insane visionary, feverish, exalted types.


     From : Chapter 3: Anticlericalism in "Belles Lettres" in Writers for the Most Part Associated with the Pre-Republican Era, Pages 127-8.
