  Frances Wright (1829). “Course of popular lectures”, p.65

• Let us enquire. Who, then, shall challenge the words? Why are they challenged. And by whom?

They have drawn the line, beyond which human reason shall not pass -- above which human virtue shall not aspire! All that is without their faith or above their rule, is immorality, is atheism, is -- I know not what.
