                        FOOD FOR THOUGHT
=================================================================

It was morality that burned the books of the ancient sages, and
morality that halted the free inquiry of the Golden Age and
substituted for it the credulous imbecility of the Age of Faith.

It was a fixed moral code and a fixed theology which robbed the human
race of a thousand years by wasting them upon alchemy,
heretic-burning, witchcraft and sacerdotalism.

     -- H. L. Mencken, The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche (1913)
