Whenever God looks devilish, I see the philosopher fail.

The mother of creation is vanity.

Expect of Man God, and he will appear to be a beast. Expect of Man a beast, and he will appear to be God.

The discovery of God begins at understanding that He ought to exist, and ends at knowing how He could exist.

Every noble action is selfish. Some selfish actions are nobler than others. But they are all selfish. And as such there can be no action purely noble anyway. Even the nobility in God's great philosophical intentions is bounded by his vanity.

An atheist is as religious as a theist.

The worst mockery God can make of a moralist is that He compels him to be a solipsist.
