A quotation from Christopher Marlowe

FAUSTUS: Si peccasse negamus, fallimur, et nulla est in nobis veritas;
   “If we say that we have no sin,
   We deceive ourselves, and there’s no truth in us.”
   Why, then, belike we must sin,
   And so consequently die.
   Ay, we must die an everlasting death.

Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
The Tragicall History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, Act 1, sc. 1 (sc. 1), l. 70ff (1594; 1604 “A” text)

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

We are told “God so loved the world” that he is going to damn almost everybody. If this orthodox religion be true, some of the greatest, and grandest, and best who ever lived are suffering God’s torments to-night. It does not appear to make much difference with the members of the church. They go right on enjoying themselves about as well as ever. If this doctrine is true, Benjamin Franklin, one of the wisest and best of men, who did so much to give us here a free government, is suffering the tyranny of God to-night, although he endeavored to establish freedom among men. If the churches were honest, their preachers would tell their hearers: “Benjamin Franklin is in hell, and we warn all the youth not to imitate Benjamin Franklin. Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, with its self-evident truths, has been damned these many years.”

A quotation from Kit Marlowe

BAD ANGEL: He that loves pleasure, must for pleasure fall.

Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

In this world we never will be perfectly civilized as long as a gallows casts its shadow upon the earth. As long as there is a penitentiary, within the walls of which a human being is immured, we are not a perfectly civilized people. We shall never be perfectly civilized until we do away with crime.
   And yet, according to this Christian religion, God is to have an eternal penitentiary; he is to be an everlasting jailer, an everlasting turnkey, a warden of an infinite dungeon, and he is going to keep prisoners there forever, not for the purpose of reforming them — because they are never going to get any better, only worse — but for the purpose of purposeless punishment. And for what? For something they failed to believe in this world. Born in ignorance, supported by poverty, caught in the snares of temptation, deformed by toil, stupefied by want — and yet held responsible through the countless ages of eternity! No man can think of a greater horror; no man can dream of a greater absurdity.

A quotation from Christopher Marlowe

FAUSTUS: Stay, Mephistopheles, and tell me,
   What good will my soul do thy lord?

A quotation from Kit Marlowe

MEPHISTOPHILES: Within the bowels of these elements,
   Where we are tortur’d and remain for ever:
   Hell hath no limits, nor is circumscrib’d
   In one self place; for where we are is hell,
   And where hell is, there must we ever be:
   And, to conclude, when all the world dissolves,
   And every creature shall be purified,
   All places shall be hell that are not heaven.

Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
The Tragicall History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, Act 2, sc. 1 (sc. 5), l. 565ff (1594; 1604 “A” text)
