Edgar Rice Burroughs
In one respect at least the Martians are a happy people, they have no lawyers.
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Beast? Jane murmured. Then God make me a beast for, man or beast, I am yours.
Edgar Rice Burroughs

Edgar Rice Burroughs
The whole fabric of our religion is based on superstitious beliefin lies that have been foisted upon us for ages by those directly above us, to whose personal profit and aggrandizement it was to have us continue to believe as they wished us to believe.
Edgar Rice Burroughs
