But if we have people who have the power to tell a story, there will always be readers.

When I was a little boy, they called me a liar, but now that I am grown up, they call me a writer.

God is a writer and we are both the heroes and the readers.

What's the good of not believing? Today it's your wife you don't believe; tomorrow it's God Himself you won't take stock in.

What do they know-all these scholars, all these philosophers, all the leaders of the world - about such as you? They have convinced themselves that man, the worst transgressor of all the species, is the crown of creation. All other creatures were created merely to provide him with food, pelts, to be tormented, exterminated. In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka.

I believe in God but people are liars. It's those people who say they are appointed by God who I don't believe in.
