More From Horace Greeley

Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

There is nothing so bad or so good that you will not find englishmen doing it; but you will never find an englishman in the wrong. he does everything on principle. he fights you on patriotic principles; he robs you on business principles; he enslaves you on imperial principles; he bullies you on manly principles; he supports his king on loyal principles and cuts off his king's head on republican principles.

The history of humanity is the history of human freedom...freedom is not, as engels thought, "the recognition of necessity." freedom is the opposite of necessity. freedom is necessity overcome. progress is, in essence, the progress of human freedom. yes, and after all, life itself is freedom. the evolution of life is the evolution of freedom.

Freedom! that was the thought that sung in her heart so that even though the future was so dim, it was iridescent like the mist over the river where the morning sun fell upon it. freedom! not only freedom from a bond that irked, and a companionship which depressed her; freedom, not only from the death which had threatened, but freedom from the love that had degraded her; freedom from all spiritual ties, the freedom of a disembodied spirit, and with freedom, courage , and a valiant unconcern for whatever was to come.
Spiritual Morning Heart
We want freedom. we want freedom from the constraints of the cycles of the sun and the moon. we want freedom from drought and weather, freedom from the movement of game, the growth of plants, freedom from control from mendacious popes and kings, freedom from ideology, freedom from want. this idea of freeing ourselves has become the compass of the human journey.

Reading the bible is the fast track to atheism. reading the bible means starting at "in the beginning..." and throwing it down with disgust at "...the grace of the lord jesus be with all. amen." i'm sure there are lots of religious people who've read the bible from start to finish and kept their faith, but in my self-selected sample, all the people i know who have done that are atheists.
