"He lost himself in the words and images conjured in his mind and for a while forgot ... He found himself flying among stars and planets ..."
"The day I charge an unbeliever like you for the word of God will be the day I'm struck dead by lightning, and with good reason."
"Whether we realize it or not, most of us define ourselves by opposing rather than by favoring something or someone. To put it another way, it is easier to react than to act. Nothing arouses a passion for dogma more than a good antagonist. And the more unlikely, the better. It's difficult to hate an idea.

The only revenge left for you then will be to steal from life the pleasure of firm and passionate flesh - a pleasure that evaporates faster than good intentions and is the nearest thing to heaven you will find in this stinking world where everything decays, beginning with beauty and ending with memory."
