Paul Henri Thiry D'Holbach Quotes

Man's Life Is A Line That Nature Commands Him To Describe Upon The Surface Of The Earth, Without His Ever Being Able To Swerve From It, Even For An Instant. He Is Born Without His Own Consent; His Organization Does In Nowise Depend Upon Himself; His Ideas Come To Him Involuntarily; His Habits Are In The Power Of Those Who Cause Him To Contract Them; He Is Unceasingly Modified By Causes, Whether Visible Or Concealed, Over Which He Has No Control, Which Necessarily Regulate His Mode Of Existence, Give The Hue To His Way Of Thinking, And Determine His Manner Of Acting. He Is Good Or Bad, Happy Or Miserable, Wise Or Foolish, Reasonable Or Irrational, Without His Will Being For Any Thing In These Various States.
