“To judge from the notions expounded by theologians, one must conclude that God created most men simply with a view to crowding hell.”

“Man must become comfortable in flowing from one role to another, one set of values to another, one life to another. Men must be free from boundaries, patterns and consistencies in order to be free to think, feel and create in new ways. Men have admired Prometheus and Mars too long; our God must become Proteus.”

“How can cosmic religious feeling be communicated from one person to another, if it can give rise to no definite notion of a God and no theology? In my view, it is the most important function of art and science to awaken this feeling and keep it alive in those who are receptive to it.”

“From the point of view of a tapeworm, man was created by God to serve the appetite of the tapeworm.”

“One must not let oneself be misled: they say 'Judge not!' but they send to Hell everything that stands in their way.”
