—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

“Social questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce great poetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama; but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

“Theology—An effort to explain the unknowable by putting it into terms of the not worth knowing.”
