Denis Diderot
“Even if Aristotle was not an atheist in the sense that he directly and openly attacked the divine . . . one could say that he was one in a broader sense, because his ideas on divinity indirectly tend to undermine it and destroy it.”
Denis Diderot

Carla H. Krueger
“Men circle like bees around honey, buzzing to communicate their sexual despair.”
Carla H Krueger, From the Horse’s Mouth
