Thomas Henry Huxley
“The science, the art, the jurisprudence, the chief political and social theories, of the modern world have grown out of Greece and Rome—not by favour of, but in the teeth of, the fundamental teachings of early Christianity, to which science, art, and any serious occupation with the things of this world were alike despicable.”
Thomas H. Huxley, Agnosticism and Christianity and Other Essays

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“I like France, where everybody thinks he's Napoleon--down here everybody thinks he's Christ.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tender Is the Night
