The following is the end matter of the drafting manuscript Morality Squared: on the Goethean-Feuerbach Prophesy, Nietzschean Void, and Henderson-Rossini Hypothesis:
Goethean calendar
The scientifically neutral non-mythologically based Goethean calendar system will be employed herein, in a partial introductory sense; namely, BG/AG dates will be affixed to about the dozen or so key years of note; to name a few: in 55BC (1805BG), On the Nature of Things was published by Lucretius, which worked to transmit atomic theory to the modern age, therein enacting the enlightenment; in 1802 (52AG), Pierre Laplace dismissed god us unneeded; and in 1882 (132AG), Friedrich Nietzsche declared god to be dead, in minds of the people of his days, as a working concept, thereby initiating the Nietzschean void.

Quotes
The following are functionable quotes:
“Four things I loathe the most, as repellant as poison and serpents, are: tobacco smoke, garlic, bedbugs, and the †.”
— Johann Goethe (1790), Venetian Epigram 66; Nietzsche (c.1885): “One must feel about the cross as Goethe did” [7]
“It is no more ‘just’ to punish an assassin than a tiger.”
— Francois Broussais (c.1834), paraphrase of fatatist views of Spinoza, Hobbes, or Priestley
“The brain cannot exist without phosphorus-containing fat. The phosphorus is the origin, hence also established activity of the brain—without phosphorus no thought.”
— Jacob Moleschott (c.1849), cited by Ludwig Feuerbach, 1850 [2]
“Whenever morality is based on theology, whenever the right is made dependent on divine authority, the most immoral, unjust, infamous things can be justified and established. Morality is then surrendered to the groundless arbitrariness of religion.”
— Ludwig Feuerbach (c.1860) (Ѻ)
“Religions rise because they satisfy the many and fall because they cease to satisfy the few.”
— Thomas Huxley (c.1870), Undated note (Ѻ)

(g) Note: the English translations of the Feuerbach nitric acid quote are possibly ambiguous as to whether Feuerbach asserted in 1850 that Goethe had "already" dissolved the Christian worldview in nitric acid; that the so-based Christian ran nations are continuing to let science advance, which thus increasingly erodes philosophical inquire in nitric acid; or that the future scientific revolution, a humanities founded on physical chemistry, will dissolve the Christian world view.
