"Why can we throw a question further than we can pull in an answer?"

"If God has the answer to every question, maybe my appreciation for God should be shaped more by the number of questions and less by the wisdom of the answers."

"Progress is born of doubt and inquiry. The Church never doubts, never inquires. To doubt is heresy, to inquire is to admit that you do not know-the Church does neither."

"So tell me, since it makes no factual difference to you and you can't prove the question either way, which story do you prefer? Which is the better story, the story with animals or the story without animals?"
Storytelling
"I challenge anyone to understand Islam, its spirit, and not to love it. It is a beautiful religion of brotherhood and devotion."
Appreciation
"You must take life the way it comes at you and make the best of it."
Acceptance
"The obsession with putting ourselves at the centre of everything is the bane not only of theologians but also of zoologists."
Humanity
"The main battlefield for good is not the open ground of the public arena but the small clearing of each heart. Meanwhile, the lot of widows and homeless children is very hard, and it is to their defense, not God's, that the self-righteous should rush."
Ethics
"Henry had written a novel because there was a hole in him that needed filling, a question that needed answering, a patch of canvas that needed painting-that blend of anxiety, curiosity and joy that is at the origin of art-and he had filled the hole, answered the question, splashed colour on the canvas, all done for himself, because he had to. Then complete strangers told him that his book had filled a hole in them, had answered a question, had brought colour to their lives. The comfort of strangers, be it a smile, a pat on the shoulder or a word of praise, is truly a comfort."
Creativity
"You might think I lost all hope at that point. I did. And as a result I perked up and felt much better."
Hope
"Trees were not hard, irritable things, but discreetly orgasmic beings moaning at a level too deep for our brutish ears. And flowers were quick explosive orgasms, like making love in the shower."
Nature
"I knew very little about the religion. [Christianity] It had a reputation for few gods and great violence. But good schools."
Religion
"To me, religion is about our dignity, not our depravity."
