“For, where God built a church there the devil would also build a chapel. They imitated the Jews also in this, namely, that as the Most Holiest was dark, and had no light, even so and after the same manner did they make their shrines dark where the devil made answer. Thus is the devil ever God's ape.”
―Martin Luther

“Human reason is like a drunken man on horseback; set it up on one side, and it tumbles over on the other.”
