“manifesto for capitalism. It teaches that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into Heaven. It depicts Jesus driving merchants and money changers out of the temple and traces human misery back to the tasting of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge.”
― Bernd Roeck, The World at First Light: A New History of the Renaissance

“In the thirteenth century, Chinese science had clearly reached limits that it could scarcely have transcended even if there had been no invasions or political upheavals. A minimum of physics was kept in check by a maximum of metaphysics.54”
― Bernd Roeck, The World at First Light: A New History of the Renaissance

“The Muscovites had to learn their faith from the stories illustrated by their icons, for both the nobility and the people were largely illiterate. Even some priests could neither read nor write. This was to the tsars’ benefit, as it was easy to rule over a pious, uneducated people.”
― Bernd Roeck, The World at First Light: A New History of the Renaissance
