Mark Twain quote at the beginning


Anyone have it? I'm trying to find it by googling Twain quotes and searching by topic, but have struck out on this one.

Thanks to anyone who has the movie that is willing to type it out here.

"MAN IS THE ONLY RELIGIOUS ANIMAL,
IN THE HOLY TASK OF SMOOTHING HIS BROTHER'S PATH
TO THE HAPPINESS OF HEAVEN, HE HAS TURNED THE GLOBE
INTO A GRAVEYARD."
(MARK TWAIN)

How this could possibly be interpreted as favouring one religion over another is beyond me. Yet, that is what this film expects the viewer to do.
