Really, a young Atheist cannot guard his faith too carefully. Dangers lie in wait for him on every side.

Some people write heavily, some write lightly. I prefer the light approach because I believe there is a great deal of false reverence about. There is too much solemnity and intensity in dealing with sacred matters; too much speaking in holy tones.

Much is expected from those to whom much is given.

I am a product of long corridors, empty sunlit rooms, upstairs indoor silences, attics explored in solitude, distant noises of gurgling cisterns and pipes, and the noise of wind under the tiles. Also, of endless books.

If anyone would like to acquire humility, the first step is to realize one is proud. Nothing can be done before it.

You cannot love a fellow creature fully till you love God.

The sane would do no good if they made themselves mad to help madmen.
