“..while I was happy enough to pray to any god, knowing that they were simply different faces created by men, of one indivisible truth.”
“The truth is, until you know any different, the island is enough.Actually, I know different. And it's still enough.”
“Do you honestly think Lenin is any different from J.P. Morgan? That you, if you were given absolute power, would behave any differently? Do you know the primary difference between men and gods?...Gods don't think they can become men.”
“Gods and men create one another, destroy one another, though by different means.”
“For men are made for happiness, and any one who is completely happy has a right to say to himself, ‘I am doing God's will on earth.’ All the righteous, all the saints, all the holy martyrs were happy.”
“One man doesn't believe in god at all, while the other believes in him so thoroughly that he prays as he murders men!”
