When men can
no longer be theists, they must, if they are civilized,
become humanists.
-- Walter Lippmann
1889-1974, American
Journalist
Humanism was
not wrong in thinking that truth, beauty, liberty, and
equality are of infinite value, but in thinking that man can
get them for himself without grace.
-- Simone Weil
1910-1943, French
Philosopher, Mystic
Humanism, it
seems, is almost impossible in America where material
progress is part of the national romance whereas in Europe
such progress is relished because it feels nice.
-- Paul West
