    “It is not woman who claims the highest in man. It is a man’s own religious soul that drives him on beyond women, to his supreme activity. For his highest, man is responsible to God alone.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “The conversion of a savage to Christianity is the conversion of Christianity to savagery.”
