Voltaire

“The ancient Romans built their greatest masterpieces of architecture for wild beasts to fight in”. –Voltaire

Aleister Crowley

“The pious pretense that evil does not exist only makes it vague, enormous, and menacing. Its overshadowing formlessness obsesses the mind. The way to beat an enemy is to define him clearly, to analyze and measure him. Once an idea is intelligently grasped, it ceases to threaten the mind with the terrors of the unknown”. –Aleister Crowley
