⁂
1Yes I support the view that superstition is more harmful to God than atheism.
Diderot
2Any man could say, be good and virtuous to me, and I will say in turn, treat me the same way, and thus our voices will resound in a chorus of echoes.
Marivaux
3Moral sympathy consists in the ability to share the ideas and affections of others, and in the desire to make others share our own ideas and affections.
Cabanis
