Der Aberglaub', in dem wir aufgewachsen,
Verliert, auch wenn wir ihn erkennen, darum
Doch seine Macht nicht über uns. - Es sind
Nicht alle frei, die ihrer Ketten spotten.

~G.E. Lessing
from Lessing's play "Nathan der Weise"--"Nathan the Wise".

The superstition in which we were brought up
will, though we have seen through it, thereby
not lose its power over us. - Not all
are free who mock at their own fetters.
