“I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.

“The true perfection of man lies not in what man has, but in what man is.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Soul of Man Under Socialism
