Mary Doria Russell Quote

You know what? I really resent the idea that the only reason someone might be good or moral is because they're religious. I do what I do, Anne said, biting off each word, without hope of reward or fear of punishment. I do not require heaven or hell to bribe or scare me into acting decently, thank you very much.
