    The whole history of civilisation is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards.

    Adam and Eve, according to the fable, wore the bower before other clothes. Man wanted a home, a place of warmth, or comfort, first of physical warmth, then the warmth of the affections.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    So doth, so is Religion; and this blind-
    ness too much light breeds; but unmoved thou
    Of force must one, and forc’d but one allow;
    And the right; ask thy father which is she,
    let him ask his; though truth and falsehood be
    Near twins, yet truth a little elder is;
