“The Fascist conception of the State is all-embracing; outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist, much less have value.

“God cannot be represented by an image. We ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. We wrong God, and put an affront upon him, if we think so. God honoured man in making his soul after his own likeness; but man dishonours God if he makes him after the likeness of his body. The Godhead is spiritual, infinite, immaterial, incomprehensible, and therefore it is a very false and unjust conception which an image gives us of God.” IfsThinkingMenGivingArtSoulBodySpiritualOughtStonesGoldInfiniteSilverDevicesConceptionUnjustAffrontDishonour Author:Matthew Henry
