“Human understanding is fallible, and we see through a glass, darkly. Any religion is a shadow of God. But the shadows of God are not God.”

“As it says in the Bible, For now we through a glass, darkly; but then face to face. If it is face to face, there must be two looking.”

“I believe in the resistance as I believe there can be no light without shadow; or rather, no shadow unless there is also light.”

“There were a lot of gods. Gods always come in handy, they justify almost anything.”

“Nature is to zoos as God is to churches.”

“But who can remember pain, once it’s over? All that remains of it is a shadow, not in the mind even, in the flesh. Pain marks you, but too deep to see. Out of sight, out of mind.”

“Our heaven is their hell, said God. I like a balanced universe.”
