Oil on canvas by Alfred Clint (1819)
A quote by Percy Bysshe Shelley, 1792 - 1822
- Before man can be free, and equal, and truly wise, he must cast aside the chains of habit and superstition; he must strip sensuality of its pomp, and selfishness of its excuses, and contemplate actions and objects as they really are.
Percy Bysshe Shelley - Essay on Christianity (ca. 1815)
