More Quotes from Hypatia:
Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fantasies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them.Hypatia

Hypatia

Hypatia
He who influences the thoughts of his times, influences all the times that follow. He has made his impress on eternity.
