Once you accept the existence of God — however you define him, however you explain your relationship to him — then you are caught forever with his presence in the center of all things.
The Clowns of God (1981)
If God be God and man a creature made in image of the divine intelligence, his noblest function is the search for truth.
The Heretic (1968)
Ever since the Greeks, we have been drunk with language! We have made a cage with words and shoved our God inside!
The Heretic (1968)
No man — prince, peasant, pope, — has all the light, who says else is a mountebank. I claim no private lien on truth, only a liberty to seek it, prove it in debate, and to be wrong a thousand times to reach a single rightness.
The Heretic (1968)
