It is certainly not the learning he acquires that disorganizes religion, but the desire for knowledge wakens because religion becomes disorganized. “


” Whoever makes an attempt on a man’s life, on a man’s liberty, on a man’s honour inspires us with a feeling of horror in every way analogous to that which the believer experiences when he sees his idol profaned. “
