"Praying anywhere' can easily become 'praying nowhere', just as 'praying anytime' can easily become 'praying at no time'. Everything in general becomes nothing in particular'."


"When I say 'The good man gave his good dog a good meal,' I use 'good' analogically, for there is at the same time a similarity and a difference between a good man, a good dog, and a good meal. All three are desirable, but a good man is wise and moral, a good dog is tame and affectionate, and a good meal is tasty and nourishing. But a good man is not tasty and nourishing, except to a cannibal; a good dog is not wise and moral, except in cartoons, and a good meal is not tame and affectionate, unless it's alive as you eat it."

"In an age of hope men looked up at the night sky and saw 'the heavens.' In an age of hopelessness they call it simply 'space."


"Don't be more serious than God. God invented dog farts. God designed your body's plumbing system. God designed an ostrich. If He didn't do it, He permitted a drunken angel to do it. Empirical facts can add significantly to the meaning of 'being godlike'."


"It is closer to the truth to say that God is crazy than that God is reasonable. I suspect God merely smiles when someone calls him crazy, but shakes His head and frowns when someone calls Him reasonable."
