Quote by David Marshall Brooks

“In the not far distant past deism and pantheism served as a polite subterfuge for atheism. There is a growing tendency in this present age to dress one's atheistic belief in an evening suit, and for the sake of social approbation call such a belief "religious humanism.”

“The philosophy of atheism had temporarily failed in previous ages, since the knowledge of those ages did not furnish facts enough upon which to build. At the present, although our knowledge is far from complete and the surface has only been scratched, yet sufficient facts have been unearthed, to reveal that there is no supernatural and the greatest hope of advancement lies in the philosophy of atheism. A philosophy that builds upon a foundation of purely secular thought, that leaves the idea of God completely discarded as a useless and false relic of bygone days, is the essence of atheism.”

“Lovenut Sonnet When I was a teenager, There was a sticker on my desk. My father had stuck it there, Saying, till you reach your goal, don't rest. Since that day I haven't stopped, For I haven't reached my goal. You may ask what the goal may be, It is to die a lovenut lifting all. Lovenut is one who is nuts, Total bonkers for the benefit of society, One whose lifeblood is sacrifice, A revolutionary who is above all security. I give a call to all the lovenuts of society. Stop not till you remind all their humanity.”
