Thomas Hobbes

He was an embittered atheist (the sort of atheist who does not so much disbelieve in God as personally dislike Him).
George Orwell

Peter Singer
Ethiopians make their gods black and snub-nosed, Thracians red-haired and with blue eyes; so also they conceive the spirits of the gods to be like themselves.

The Other

Simone de Beauvoir
--Second Sex
