• Theologians and philosophers, who make God the creator of Nature and the architect of the Universe, reveal Him to us as an illogical and unbalanced Being. They declare He is benevolent because they are afraid of Him, but they are forced to admit the truth that His ways are vicious and beyond understanding. They attribute a malignity to Him seldom to be found in any human being. And that is how they get human beings to worship Him. For our miserable species would never lavish worship on a just and benevolent God from whom they had nothing to fear.

• Nos resulta difícil imaginarnos el estado mental de un hombre de antaño que creía firmemente que la Tierra era el centro del Universo y que todos los cuerpos celestes giraban a su alrededor. Podía sentir bajo sus pies los retorcimientos de los condenados en medio de las llamas; muy probablemente había visto con sus propios ojos y olido con sus propias narices los vapores sulfurosos del Infierno que escapaban de alguna fisura en las rocas. Mirando hacia arriba, contempló... el firmamento incorruptible, en el que las estrellas colgaban como otras tantas lámparas.
