    a) wine. I don't mind a little egalitarianism, but I hesitate to think of my self as a puppet.

    The idea of rain water to good wine makes me happy without drinking a drop.

    "I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms."
