Here's a good one. "Men, believing in myths, will always fear something terrible, everlasting punishment as certain or probable. Men base all these fears not on mature opinions, but on irrational fancies, that they are more disturbed by fear of the unknown than by facing facts. Peace of mind lies in being delivered from all these fears".

I can say it would be central to a certain school of thought but I still can't think who it is right now.

No. She didn't give a Fluck. Apparently she did Hrolf. Very good it was too, by all accounts.
