For the religious the holy is truth, for the philosophic the truth is holy.

I have always taken as the standard of the mode of teaching and writing, not the abstract, particular, professional philosopher, but universal man, that I have regarded man as the criterion of truth, and not this or that founder of a system, and have from the first placed the highest excellence of the philosopher in this, that he abstains, both as a man and as an author, from the ostentation of philosophy, i. e., that he is a philosopher only in reality, not formally, that he is a quiet philosopher, not a loud and still less a brawling one.

I would rather be a devil in alliance with truth, than an angel in alliance with falsehood.

Man created God in his own image.

It is as clear as the sun and as evident as the day that there is no God and that there can be none.

Man first unconsciously and involuntarily creates God in his own image, and after this God consciously and voluntarily creates man in his own image.

It is not as in the Bible, that God created man in his own image. But, on the contrary, man created God in his own image.
