Diderot and the Encyclopædists Volume II. Quotes

“The finger of the atheists' own divinity, Reason, wrote on the wall the appalling judgments that there is no God; that the universe is only matter in spontaneous motion; and, most grievous word of all, that what men call their souls die with the death of the body, as music dies when the strings are broken.”
― John Morley, Diderot and the encyclopædists, by John Viscount Morley. Volume v.2 1923 [Leather Bound]
