On witnessing a man treat George Eliot in a rude manner:

I sat down in a corner and prayed to God to blast him. God did nothing, and ever since I have been an agnostic.

I sat down in a corner and prayed to God to blast him. God did nothing, and ever since I have been an agnostic.

I sat down in a corner and prayed to God to blast him. God did nothing, and ever since I have been an agnostic.

I sat down in a corner and prayed to God to blast him. God did nothing, and ever since I have been an agnostic.
