Frances Wright Zitate

Unser religiöser Glaube übernimmt den Platz unserer Empfindungen, unsere Vorstellungen unseres Urteils. Wir schauen nicht länger nach Aktionen, verfolgen ihre Konsequenzen und leiten dann die Regel ab. Wir machen zuerst die Regel und zwingen dann, richtig oder falsch, die Aktion, sich mit ihr zu rechtfertigen.
