“Religion and morality do not go hand in hand. In fact, they are at the opposite ends of the philosophical spectrum.”
“And the end and the beginning where always there, before the beginning and after the end.”
“Two contrary reasons. We must begin with that, otherwise we cannot understand anything and everything is heretical. And even at the end of each truth we must add that we are bearing the opposite truth in mind.”

“What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.”
