We have just enough religion to make us hate but not enough to make us
love one another. -Jonathan Swift, satirist (1667-1745)

нашей религиозности хватает, чтобы ненавидеть, но недостаточно, чтобы любить друг друга.

Джонатан Свифт, писатель

sad but very true

Have you read Swift's A Modest Proposal? It is quite amazing. (Sorry...I am on a 'literature lecture' kick tonight and it is just me and the cat.)

No, I haven't. I read only "Gulliver travels" - in Russian.
Please, don't apologise - Swuft is one of the writers that I should read!

Try to find A Modest Proposal - it is quite entertaining, especially since my husband is from Belfast! Also, I seem to apologize for everything...a bad habit I am trying to break.)

you can always start swearing instead
