"The different religions being lame attempts to
represent under
various guises this one root-fact of the central
universal life,
men have at all times clung to the religious creeds and
rituals
and ceremonials as symbolising in some rude way the
redemption
and fulfilment of their own most intimate natures--and
this
whether consciously understanding the interpretations,
or whether
(as most often) only doing so in an unconscious or
quite
subconscious way."
The Drama of Love and Death, p. 96.
