  1. A quotation from Robert Green Ingersoll

       Is it necessary that Heaven should borrow its light from the glare of Hell?
       Infinite punishment is infinite cruelty, endless injustice, immortal meanness. To worship an eternal gaoler hardens, debases, and pollutes even the vilest soul. While there is one sad and breaking heart in the universe, no good being can be perfectly happy.

    Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
    Lecture (1881-05-01) “The Great Infidels,” Booth’s Theater, New York

  2. A quotation from Christopher Marlowe

    CHORUS: Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight,
       And burnèd is Apollo’s laurel bough,
       That sometime grew within this learnèd man.
       Faustus is gone. Regard his hellish fall,
       Whose fiendful fortune may exhort the wise
       Only to wonder at unlawful things,
       Whose deepness doth entice such forward wits,
       To practise more than heavenly power permits.

    Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
    The Tragicall History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, Epilogue (1594; 1604 “A” text)
