Comrades - We are living in momentous times.

Life has a practice of living you, if you don't live it.

Life is a disease, brother, and death begins already at birth. Every breath, every heartbeat, is a moment of dying - a little shove toward the end.

There must be freedom for all to live, to think, to worship, no book, no avenue must be closed.

The question of religion was a matter for each individual's conscience, and in a great many cases was the outcome of birth or residence in a certain geographical area.
