"The materialists are offensive to me in many respects; their doctrines I hold to be pernicious, and I am disgusted at their arrogance.
If their system could be of any utility to man, it would seem to be by giving him a modest opinion of himself, but these reasoners show that it is not so; and when they think they have said enough to prove that they are brutes, they appear as proud as if they had demonstrated that they are gods."
