Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that, and I intend to end up there.

Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.

Prayer is a turning to God.

There is only one Christ, Jesus, one faith. All else is a dispute over trifles.

I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars.

I find distasteful the traditional idea of Christianity which preaches the resurrection of the body. Frankly, I see my body as more of a limitation than a virtue, and I will be glad to be free of it rather than having to continue to cart it around. I prefer to believe that souls can exist independently from bodies.
