"Two things awe me most, the starry sky above me and the moral law within me"
-Immanuel Kant

"He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity."
-Mikhail Bakunin

"Freedom, morality, and the human dignity of the individual consists precisely in this; that he does good not because he is forced to do so, but because he freely conceives it, wants it, and loves it."
-Mikhail Bakunin
