"The more we know of the fixed laws of nature the more incredible do miracles become, - that the men at that time were ignorant and credulous to a degree almost incomprehensible by us, - that the Gospels cannot be proved to have been written simultaneously with the events, - that they differ in many important details, far too important as it seemed to me to be admitted as the usual inaccuracies of eye-witnesses; - by such reflections as these... I gradually came to disbelieve in Christianity as a divine revelation."
"To suppose that the eye could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree"

But their virtuous feelings have been played on by some fact with more fiction; they have been the dupes of artful maneuvers, and made for a moment to be willing instruments in forging chains for themselves. But times and truth dissipated the delusion, and opened their eyes."
"There is no greater feeling than when a groom turns to see his bride and has tears in his eyes because she is so beautiful."

There are people who think that things that happen in fiction do not really happen. These people are wrong."
