" [M]an has been accustomed, ever since he was a boy, to having a dozen incompatible philosophies dancing about together inside his head. He doesn't think of doctrines as primarily "true" or "false," but as "academic" or "practical," "outworn" or "contemporary," "conventional" or "ruthless." Jargon, not argument, is your best ally in keeping him from the Church. Don't waste time trying to make him think that materialism is true! Make him think it is strong or stark or courageous‚Äîthat it is the philosophy of the future. That's the sort of thing he cares about. "

It makes me sick to think of the suffering and torture they represent."Mrs. Allerton said cheerfully: "You‚Äôd rather have no Pyramids, no Parthenon, no beautiful tombs or temples‚Äîjust the solid satisfaction of knowing that people got three meals a day and died in their beds."The young man directed his scowl in her direction. "I think human beings matter more than stones. "
