CHAPTER VI
31/73

Between the covers of the same atheistic pamphlet I have found the faith rebuked for its disunion, "One thinks one thing, and one another," and rebuked also for its union, "It is difference of opinion that prevents the world from going to the dogs." In the same conversation a free-thinker, a friend of mine, blamed Christianity for despising Jews, and then despised it himself for being Jewish.
I wished to be quite fair then, and I wish to be quite fair now; and I did not conclude that the attack on Christianity was all wrong.

I only concluded that if Christianity was wrong, it was very wrong indeed.

Such hostile horrors might be combined in one thing, but that thing must be very strange and solitary.

There are men who are misers, and also spendthrifts; but they are rare.

There are men sensual and also ascetic; but they are rare.
