Man is God and therefore understands God. I am God. I am a man. I am good and not a beast. I am an animal with reason. I have flesh, I *am* flesh, I am not descended from flesh. Flesh is created by God. I am God. I am God. I am God.”
“You said I am a good man," he said. "But I am not that good a man. And I am--I am catastrophically in love with you.”
