Sin, Forgiveness! What wonderful concepts if only implemented correctly!
Recitation of these virtues what the world would have become! Wasted on the veneration of deities when the veneration should be of these virtues!
You know now what religion is, this deformed beast of Baal, but you know not what it hides in its ruin!
This is the treasure more valuable than ivory, more valuable than an earth filled with gold! Yet you would forsake it? I think not!
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
