“When once we quit the basis of sensation, all is in the wind. To talk of immaterial existences is to talk of nothings.

I cannot reason otherwise: but I believe I am supported in my creed of materialism by Locke, Tracy, and Stewart.

{Letter to John Adams, from Monticello, 15 August 1820}”

“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”
