“Any man who lives by his beliefs is to be admired, not mocked.”

“He was greedy and rude and bitter, but he was still a healer. The parson, though, what was he? He was nothing. Belief is half of all healing. Belief in the cure, belief in the future that awaits. And here was a man who lived on belief, but who sacrificed it at the first challenge, right when he needed it most. He believed selfishly and fearfully. And it took the lives of his daughters.”

“and being as wicked as any man who ever lived, he exploited his advantage to the full.”

“And here was a man who lived on belief, but who sacrificed it at the first challenge, right when he needed it most.”

“God loves you, they say in the churches, God is everything. People who believe that don't need admiration, they don't need to sleep with a man, they feel safe. But I can't invent a belief.”

“He who does not live in the way of his beliefs starts to believe in the way he lives.”
