It is at a fair that man can be drunk forever on liquor, love, or fights; at a fair that your front pocket can be picked by a trotting horse looking for sugar, and your hind pocket by a thief looking for his fortune. – E.B. (Elwyn Brooks) White
The spiritual element, the really important part of religion, has no concern with Time and Space, temporary mundane laws, or conduct. – Richard Le Gallienne
