When religion stops talking about animals it will be all downhill.
One of the main functions of formalized religion is to protect people against a direct experience of God.
The serious problems in life...are never fully solved. If ever they should appear to be so it is a sure sign that something has been lost. The meaning and purpose of a problem seem to lie not in its solution but in our working at it incessantly.
Nature does not deceive or conceal, but reveals.
Life is something that has to be lived and not talked about.
Normality is a fine ideal for those who have no imagination.
