William Winwood Reade Quotes

The philosophic spirit of inquiry may be traced to brute curiosity, and that to the habit of examining all things in search of food. Artistic genius is an expansion of monkey imitativeness Picture Quote #1
And then, the Earth being small, mankind will migrate into space, and will cross the airless Saharas which separate planet from planet and sun from sun. The Earth will become a Holy Land which will be visited by pilgrims from all the quarters of the Universe. Finally, men will master the forces of Nature; they will become themselves architects of systems, manufacturers of worlds Picture Quote #1
Doubt is the offspring of knowledge: the savage never doubts at all Picture Quote #1
Men prefer to believe that they are degenerated angels, rather than elevated apes Picture Quote #1
What a state of society is this in which freethinker is a term of abuse, and in which doubt is regarded as sin? Picture Quote #1
A religion so cheerless, a philosophy so sorrowful, could never have succeeded with the masses of mankind if presented only as a system of metaphysics. Buddhism owed its success to its catholic spirit and its beautiful morality Picture Quote #1

Our enlightened posterity will look back upon us who eat oxen and sheep, just as we look upon cannibals Picture Quote #1
To cultivate the intellect is therefore a religious duty; and when this truth is fairly recognized by men, the religion which teaches that the intellect should be distrusted and that it should be subservient to faith, will inevitably fall Picture Quote #1
It may safely be asserted that the art of war will soon be reduced to a simple question of expenditure and credit, and that the largest purse will be the strongest arm Picture Quote #1
As a single atom man is an enigma: as a whole he is a mathematical problem. As an individual he is a free agent, as a species the offspring of necessity Picture Quote #1
