I'm not an atheist. I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books.

What I'm really interested in is whether God could have made the world in a different way; that is, whether the necessity of logical simplicity leaves any freedom at all.

If the bees disappear, man would have only four years of life left.

Never lose a holy curiosity.

A life directed chiefly toward the fulfillment of personal desires will sooner or later always lead to bitter disappointment.

There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there.
