Religious habits had in their texture a conservatism unmatched by any other human institution.

The Book of Ptath (1947)

Religion, you see, is not in its roots adoration of a god or a goddess. Religion is fear. Religion is the spark that issues forth when the thought of death or danger strikes the individual. It’s personal. It grows out of darkness and uncertainty.

The Book of Ptath (1947)
