In the novel “1876,” Vidal's protagonist, Charles Schermerhorn Schuyler, hears an anecdote about President Grant's disgust with Senator Charles Sumner's ego. It was said that Sumner did not believe in the Bible. “No, I suppose not,” Grant replied; “he didn't write it.”
A quote by Ulysses S. Grant
The reason [Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts] doesn't believe in the Bible is because he didn't write it himself.
