• In proportion to the love existing among men, so will be the community of property and power. Among true and real friends, all is common; and, were ignorance and envy and superstition banished from the world, all mankind would be friends.

Those distinctions which have been artificially set up, of nations, societies, families, and religions, are only general names, expressing the abhorrence and contempt with which men blindly consider their fellowmen.

  In the wise heart, from the last giddy hour
  Of dread endurance, from the slippery, steep,

  That to divide is not to take away.
  Love is like understanding, that grows bright,
  Gazing on many truths; 'tis like thy light,
  Imagination! which from earth and sky,
  And from the depths of human phantasy,
  As from a thousand prisms and mirrors, fills
  The Universe with glorious beams, and kills
  Error, the worm, with many a sun-like arrow
  Of its reverberated lightning.

• Las abstracciones más refinadas de la lógica conducen a una visión de la vida que, aunque asombrosa a la aprehensión, es, de hecho, la que el sentido habitual de sus repetidas combinaciones ha extinguido en nosotros.
