Since you must admit that there is nothing outside the universe, it can have no limit and is accordingly without end or measure. It makes no odds in which part of it you may take your stand; whatever spot anyone may occupy, the universe stretches away from him just the same in all directions without limit.

Life is one long struggle in the dark.

Too often in time past, religion has brought forth criminal and shameful actions... How many evils has religion caused?

Human life lay foul before men's eyes, crushed to the dust beneath religion's weight.

It was certainly not by design that the particles fell into order, they did not work out what they were going to do, but because many of them by many chances struck one another in the course of infinite time and encountered every possible form and movement, that they found at last the disposition they have, and that is how the universe was created.

There is nothing that exists so great or marvelous that over time mankind does not admire it less and less.

A falling drop at last will carve a stone.
