  1. A quotation from Shakespeare

    FRIAR LAWRENCE: These violent delights have violent ends
       And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,

    Romeo and Juliet, Act 2, sc. 6, l. 9ff (2.6.9-11) (1595)

  5. A quotation from Moliere

    CLÉANTE: And just as there is nothing I more revere
       Than a soul whose faith is steadfast and sincere,
       Nothing that I more cherish and admire
       Than honest zeal and true religious fire,
       So there is nothing that I find more base
       Than specious piety’s dishonest face.
     
    [Et, comme je ne vois nul genre de héros
    Qui soient plus à priser que les parfaits dévots,
    Aucune chose au monde et plus noble et plus belle
    Que la sainte ferveur d’un véritable zèle,
    Aussi ne vois-je rien qui soit plus odieux
    Que le dehors plâtré d’un zèle spécieux.]

    Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
    Tartuffe, or the Hypocrite [Le Tartuffe, ou L’Imposteur], Act 1, sc. 6 (1669) [tr. Wilbur (1963), 1.5]

  6. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    Vehemence is the expression of a blind effort to support and uphold something that can never stand on its own — something rootless, incoherent, and incomplete. Whether it is our own meaningless self we are upholding or some doctrine devoid of evidence, we can do it only in a frenzy of faith.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 60 (1955)
