Christian hypocrites who pretend to
hate life and love death

Christianity had ceased to be the creed
of the poor

Clothes the ugly truth as with a
pleasing garment

Coach moved by electricity

Colored cakes in the shape of beasts

Comparing their own fair lot with the
evil lot of others

Confess I would rather provoke a
lioness than a woman

Confucius's command not to love our
fellow-men but to respect

Contempt had become too deep for hate

Corpse to be torn in pieces by dogs and
vultures

Every misfortune brings its fellow with
